So Kavanaugh gets confirmed with an asterisk next to his name and impeachment hanging over his tenure, Collins will likely lose her seat in 2020, maybe Murkowski too. There is no victory here. The media will get to the bottom of this. Witnesses will be allowed to speak. Trump should have pulled him when the allegations surfaced.
LMAO!!!! you need 2/3 in the Senate to impeach a SC Judge, good luck.
Alaska is a Republican state....good luck......and Collins is a moderare Republican pro choice....good luck with that too. you liberals are whiners.......you never wanted Kavanaugh in the S.C. no matter what not even if the FBI came back with nothing on their 7th background check on the judge.....it shows this was a circus and a sham from day 1 brought to us by the Democrat party.
As predicted the Democrats are crying that the limited scope investigation that they wanted is incomplete and claiming the White House limited it. What a crock of BS. Trump has been asked numerous times if he ordered the FBI who and what to investigate in multiple different ways and the answer was always the same. No. He is deferring to the Senate and will do whatever the Senate wants. Trump also indicated he didn't want it to become a fishing expediting and he is right about that. Sanders also said the White House isn't directing the investigation. Enough is enough. I am so tired of the Democrats and their lies and their tactics.
This would be why Kavanaugh would not affirmatively agree to an FBI interview and why the WH limited the scope of the investigation to not interview Kavanaugh.
It wasn't the WH's limits. The limits came from the SJC, itself:

Meanwhile the asterisks are building up on Schumer, Feinstein, Booker, Blumenthal, and well, you know the rest of them.
Much respect for Joe if he does this, I don’t even care if he’s doing it for political purposes. We need a bit of bipartisanship right now, even if just one vote. If you vote yes Joe I wish you the best of luck in November, even though you voted against the Tax plan you are still the best the Democrats have to offer.
Joe Manchin is a goner in West Virginia if he votes no on this and he knows it. With the increased republican turnout that we are now going to see, he could be a goner anyway.
People who are alcoholics tend to die at an earlier age. It would appear Kavanaugh is an alcoholic. Thus, it is reasonable to guess that Kavanaugh could die at a relatively early age.
The problem with that argument is that you state "it would appear". Based upon who, you? I know you may not be used to dealing with or embracing facts, but provide factual evidence that proves he is an alcoholic.

The GOP probably doesn’t care much how that seat goes. It’s just a number pumper really if they gain it as Manchin tends to vote with them
The FBI cannot corroborate any of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh. That includes the allegations from Christine Ford. After all the hearings, press coverage, national discussion, not one corroborating witness. Not one.

False, the elected Republicans went overboard trying not to smear Ford. Annoying so in my opinion. We didn't know a damn thing about her until the last couple of days.
Got to say, I really was a bit annoyed myself. They had a woman with zero evidence and corroboration. They took her seriously and handled her with absolute kid gloves. I believe, if she were vigorously questioned, her story would have folded right then and there. But no, the Republicans treated her like she was made of glass. Enough.
