    Senate panel formally postpones Kavanaugh vote

    The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday formally postponed a vote on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, canceling a meeting set for later this week where a vote was initially expected to happen.
    Staffers for Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent out a notice that the Thursday business meeting had been canceled. The Senate is expected to leave town for the week on Tuesday.


    The delay for a vote to advance Kavanaugh's nomination was widely expected following allegations from Christine Blasey Ford, a professor who alleges that Kavanaugh held her down and tried to remove her clothes at a party in the early 1980s when both were in high school.


    Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.

    Exclamation Kavanaugh confirmation before midterms will result in GOP loss of the HOR, he's that bad

    The GOP wing of the party will totally lose the HOR if they confirm *JJ Swamp before the midterm elections.

    Quoting for future reference because Kav will be confirmed and we shall see if you are right.
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    Not only will he be confirmed, but I predict the Dems will not take back the house.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    The Impeachment Trifecta used to be TRUMP, PENCE and RYAN.
    Now it might hypothetically be Trump, Kavanaugh and Pence!!!

    The Constitution requires a two-thirds super majority to convict a person being impeached.
