With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on the floor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins (R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh. That’s the ball game, folks.If Vespa’s sources are right, the votes are there not only to get Kavanaugh out of committee successfully but also get him confirmed on the larger floor vote. Obviously it will be a huge disappointment if the committee votes moments from now and does not recommend his confirmation, but we’re passing along to you what we hear. Question: Did Michael Avenatti unwittingly seal the deal for Kavanaugh? Christine Blasey Ford did sound somewhat credible in isolation, although Kavanaugh’s factual refutation left her story in tatters. But did the whole “rape gangs” nonsense from the creepy porn lawyer give this whole thing such an air of absurdity that it inspired the Lindsey Graham blowup and the sense that the Democrats had gone way, way, way too far with this ambush? Looks that way to me. Let’s vote.
