I say if there's such a rumor that he, the bullshitter himself, probably started it in some attempt to make himself appear pensive, deliberative, contemplative, objective, fairminded.

I say it's bullshit.

that is probably the source of the rumors. Hopefully there is fire to the smoke.

got to him. He is under a lot of pressure to vote yes but his conscious (if he even has one) may be working on him. I won't hold my breath though.

he may want to think long and hard about supporting Kavanaugh. Telling women that sexual assault doesn't matter is not going to win him many votes.

Biden idiotically did that ("without a recommendation&quot with Clarence Hill, and the Senate confirmed him.

Voting "no" would make him a hero to at least half the population.

Voting yes won't get the GOP to love him again.
