Yeah I thought the same. They got the 11-10 recommendation vote. But they ran out of time on the "with conditions" vote. So Flake is either an idiot turncoat, or absolutely brilliant if he was watching his watch. Great move by Grassley to shut it down however.

Not Flake!!! He's a Q/Trump pawn. He isn't retiring by choice. Think leverage and actors playing parts to keep their evil deeds unknown.

Here is where the Republicans screwed up. They should have had a Graham on one side of Flake, and Cruz on the other and not let him leave the room on the last break. They knew Flake was vulnerable and he should have not been allowed anywhere Dems.

Correct. Now it's up the McConnell and the prez to inform RINOs of the info that the NSA has on them. Better get in line, RINOs.

Exactly this. I think it's why Flake played ball with the Republicans (and why he's resigning). He's not /our guy/ but he definitely knew what he was doing, and he was the best one to do it because the Dems could easily believe he might side with them.

Yep! Get in line and listen up good. If you want to go down with a sinking ship, that can easily be arranged. So you might want to think long and hard before casting your vote.

Feinstein was blown out of the water. Totally confused wretch.

2 hr rule explains the slight delay before vote... nice touch.

Totally, Flake was just a distraction. 11-10 is all that matter!!! WWG1WGA :) Stay focused on what matters. The left is going to be pulling out all the stops now!!!

Yes, and I think some of democrats in Red States will affirm the vote for Kavanaugh so Flake's vote won't matter, too much.

A choice between their job and getting lynched by the extremists of their own party or lose your job and at least be unassaulted. Between a rock and a hard place, that.

You're absolutely right they will affirm the vote. One has to remember - many democrats remained democrats because they all thought Hillary would win. That old bitch didn't and now that trump has won and has the house and senate, if Brett is appointed (which he will be) then you'll see people switch republican.

He filibustered until the time ran out before his "motion" could be voted on. I think he was in on it and knew that his Democrat luring sensibilities would get Kavanaugh approved.

I think his fake deal was necessary for a quorum. The bylaws say you only need 2 minority members, and they still had 5 after 4 had walked out. But I wonder if there is more to it or if more Democrats would have walked out as they started counting the quorum. So Flake came up with this fake deal, Democrats sat and were counted, then Grassley announced a vote on the original measure! LOL Bait and switch!
