Liz Warren's conclusion and floor speech:

I've seen the FBI "report" on Brett Kavanaugh. 4 things are clear:
❌This wasn't a full or fair investigation.
❌ It doesn't exonerate him.
❌ The available documents contradict what he said under oath.
❌ We must #CancelKavanaugh. pic.twitter.com/bLfINQmKf5

Hah, this is like ridiculous. Makes me think of how McConell rushing is simply blatantly ridiculous, there is no real reason for it:

Given the controversy that would be a good use of academic resources. What do the leaders of the tribe recommend, the nine out of ten dentists? rmrd can weigh in and tell us how dental hygiene is a racist plot by white supremacists.

Sounds like the start of an academic paper on how political identity synchs with dental hygiene practice

In reply to Manchin & Heitkemp

Republicans challenge Heitkamp's statement, doubt that democrats brush teeth. Graham snarled, "If Heitkamp brushed her teeth she would vote for Kavanaugh."

Glenn Kirschner's opinion:

Again, the White House succeeds in damaging the public’s trust in our institutions - the FBI and the Supreme Court. And once again, the legislature abdicates its ‘checks & balances’ responsibilities. Pls see @abigailtracy @VanityFair article about the latest travesty. #Kavanaugh https://t.co/fCcvkgPA61

Manchin & Heitkemp

MANCHIN says he made it about halfway through report. Is going to continue reviewing tomorrow.

Asked if he’s gotten any answers he said: “it’s helping, it’s helping.”

Will Heitkamp’s “no” decision on Kavanaugh influence him?

“Heidi made her decision, I’ll make mine.”

Heidi Heitkamp's brother Joel on MSNBC: "She may lose. But in the morning, when she's brushing her teeth, she needs to like the person she sees."

.@HeidiHeitkamp to @WDAYnews: “If this were a political decision for me I certainly would be deciding the other way....history will judge you but most importantly you will judge yourself.... I can't get up in the morning and look at the experience I've had and say yes.”

Paul Waldman at WaPo: "With whitewash complete, every Republican will now line up behind Kavanaugh":

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/10/04/with-whitew...

Such fine-sounding words as the undecideds have expressed are just talk. They're full of hot air and have zero credibility as senators who have anything to offer that helps us get out of the stinkin' mess we are in as a country. They are only digging us deeper still. On what may well come to be seen as the defining vote of their public careers, they, and all of the others who vote yes, will have failed our country utterly. What a bunch of zeroes.

This was a time when we needed clear thinking and a commitment to uphold the spirit of our constitution and adhere to preconditions necessary for it and our society to work. One side of the aisle in our Senate said screw all that, it's just a bunch of meaningless horse pucky that we provide from time to time for popular consumption. They are counting on the stench of this moment to fade away, and on getting away with this heinous act against our republic.

For shame.
