Sen. Jeff Merkley: 'Absurd' There's Only Going To Be One Copy Of FBI Report | The Last Word | MSNBC
Sen. Jeff Merkley says "100 Senators will have to line up" to see the FBI report on Brett Kavanaugh because there is only going to be one copy available. Sen. Merkley calls the President's handling of the Kavanaugh investigation a "significant cover-up."

(205,467 posts)Saving paper?? We know that Republicans could care less about that. The only possible reason is to keep this report from becoming public for as long as they can - and to schedule a vote before the majority can read and absorb it. They just want to ram this vote through - despite the huge national controversy that should have shut down this insanity long ago.

The Dems need to be raising hell about this.
And I really wish someone would go find Chuck Schumer and try to talk him into coming out of hiding

(5,969 posts)Even if all Senators only took 15 minutes on average, it would take 3 workdays to get through.

(205,467 posts)Every single senator who's expected to vote needs to be raising hell about this! And we have some outspoken senators who took part on those hearings - painful farce that it was - and they need to stick together and take a stand.

(22,130 posts)hurry to confirm. Obviously the repugs see the writing on the wall w/ the upcoming Nov. 2018 elections or something worse about Kav and the blue wave tsunami coming right at them. Fine. Let them confirm Kav. He can be impeached also. And he should be impeached since he should have never been a judge to begin with, with all of the accusations so far. Lied from the very get go.
Get out and vote.
Blue wave tsunami (sounds like a good song here maybe).
Accuse, and/or impeach and then convict or jail. Move on and repair the country.
Pretty simple.
