Susan Collins will allegedly make an announcement by 3 PM on which way she will vote tomorrow. So we are less than an hour away from having this thing wrapped up.

I hope Kavanaugh slams Bud Lights on the top turnbuckle like Stone Cold Steve Austin after he is confirmed.

even if Collins is a no, Daines just flies back after his daughter's wedding, right?

Murkowski was a No on today's vote to procede.

Manchin voted yes today on vote to proceed. Thus the 51-49 result.

Speculation is that Manchin will vote Yes to confirm.

No, if Collins is a No the nomination is dead unless Joe Manchin votes Yes.

A lot of pressure on Manchin. His lead could evaporate quickly if he votes no after voting yes to proceed.

Surprised Donnelly was a no. I think he just doomed himself in the mid terms. But hey, Kamala Harris is helping him raise money now since he was a NO.

What are you talking about? They have 30 hours of debate time. This is what they're supposed to do.

Watching now... honestly, no dog in the fight and no idea how Sen. Collins is going to go, but she seems very well informed and I will respect her decision.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Thought Flake did the right thing for democracy as well.

Listening to her talk she's definitely voting "yes." Looks like that's the ballgame.

“I believe Dr. Ford... but check out some facts.”

She just walked through step-by-step how there is literally no tangible evidence against Kavanagh or corroboration. And it’s unarguable. Insane you can trash a dude with a 35 year old allegation with no facts/evidence/anything to support it.
