Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) indicated Tuesday that the GOP was full steam ahead in putting on the Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who faces allegations for sexual misconduct.
“I believe he’ll be confirmed, yes,” McConnell said at a press conference at the Capitol, when asked if he had the votes.
Earlier in the press availability, McConnell said he was “confident we’re going to win.”
But first, Kavanaugh will sit through another hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee Thursday, where one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, will also testify about her account that the judge groped her when they were both teenagers.
Asked if his language made it seem like he would not approach Blasey Ford’s testimony seriously, McConnell noted that few people were willing to testify under oath about the matter.

One of those senators, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) told he reporters he had cleared his schedule Thursday to watch the hearing, but that he was going into it with “positive feelings” towards Kavanaugh. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) — who had supported the move to bring Blasey Ford in front of the committee — praised Kavanaugh’s appearance on Fox News to defend himself Monday evening.
The Republican senator who is perhaps giving the strongest signals that she’s still on the fence on Kavanaugh is Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
“We need to be able to listen,” Murkowksi told the New York Times Monday about Thursday’s hearing. “We have to listen to what she will say on the record, under oath, and what Judge Kavanaugh will say on the record, under oath.”
Hey, Murkowski, Corker and Collins, Flake, while your in your office(s) looking at the TV, and trying to make up your minds, and scratching your heads of bullshit that is running between your ears, why don't you demand a FBI investigation from your caucus.
This happy horseshit of what you are saying, is nothing more than happy horseshit......................your double speak belies your hypocrisy on the rule of law and for this job interview, that this asshole has perjured himself, and has now been accused of sexual assault...................................the question that needs to be asked if you were a boss and found out that this person lied, would you still hire him...............................I fucking don't think so....................
= new reply since forum marked as read
that question to theses republicans would you hire this man for your private business............yes or no.............
They would have suffered no lasting harm confirming him last week, despite the allegation made by Prof. Blasey Ford and especially when she was anonymous. McConnell is craven, but (despite all outward appearances) he's not stupid. He didn't have the votes then, and he certainly doesn't have the votes now.
IMHO, of course. 
McConnell is the love child of an unwed snapping turtle and a three toed sloth. I truly believe that.
