Sparks Fly Before Judiciary Committee Vote on Kavanaugh Nomination

Source: Roll Call

Sparks flew even before the Senate Judiciary Committee started a hearing to vote on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the Supreme Court, as two women confronted Sen. Jeff Flake in an elevator.

“Look at me when I talk to you!” one of the women yelled at the Arizona Republican just minutes after he announced he would vote to confirm the federal judge.

CNN carried footage of the exchange as Flake headed to the hearing.

One of the women said she had been raped. Both of them told Flake his vote would send this message to women: We don’t matter.

Trump party line. He better think more about his decision, however, because if he votes yes he is throwing away his chance for the presidency in 2020 and beyond. Not only don't women matter to Flake but he raised his son not to care about animals either, as evidenced by his lack of remorse in the death of dogs from neglect at the hands of his son at the kennel. How did Flake handle that situation? Rewarded his sons with an overseas vacation.
