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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.
