I was hoping this would be livestreamed today and it will be. At 9:30AM ET the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination and you can watch it below. I’m sure there will be drama from the Democrats, just like there was during the main hearing for Kavanaugh.
Watch:
If it passes, and I’m pretty sure it will, it then goes to the floor of the Senate for a final vote on Tuesday.
Remember, there are 11 Republican seats on the committee and 10 Democratic seats. So if Republicans all agree then there’s no issue.
Also note that just because Flake votes Kavanaugh out of committee, it doesn’t mean he’ll vote yes for him on the floor of the Senate.
UPDATE: Flake says he will vote for Kavanaugh:
#Breaking Flake: I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

With Flake’s yea on Kavanaugh, there are now 48 pledged GOPers. Collins and Murkowski are wild cards. Enzi is unannounced but not viewed to be a problem
