He did but his word is meaningless.

I don't think he said that categorically.
If that was his position, what was the point of moving this out of committee?
Lindsey Graham grinning, smiling and chatting calmly is not a comforting sight!
Beer break?
They just moved it out of committee so its now on the Senate floor and on McConnell and full senate
Flake's speech was about how he (allegedly) won't be comfortable on voting yes on Kavanaugh without the 1 week FBI investigation which combined with Collins and Murk should mean we get at least the facade of an investigation
Ha! Fecker.That's what Grassley's stop watch was all about
I guess I would make a weird senator.
If I were on the committee I'd say, myeaa, rapist or not, he kinda seems like a emotionally unstable cnut with anger problems. Let's not have him elected to the supreme court for life, just to be sure.
Personally even if I interviewed a great candidate I would reject him based on the absurd amount of water intake.

Summary from the Guardian:
Republicans won the key committee vote, bringing Kavanaugh to the brink of becoming a supreme court justice.
Kavanaugh’s nomination to the nation’s highest court now advances to the full Senate.
There is an informal potential roadblock, however, which is that Flake has asked for the vote to be delayed for a week, though this is not something the committee can decide.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell schedules the vote, and is not on the judiciary committee.
Flake is saying he will vote no unless an FBI investigation takes place, which would give McConnell reason to delay the vote.

He should have stuck to boofing.
Did they have the vote?
So he voted yes in committee but said he may not vote on the floor, when a single vote won't decide things?
They had the committee vote. 11-10 to advance Kavanaugh, along party lines. Flake indicated he would vote No in the full Senate vote unless there was an FBI investigation.
Graham seems to accept the decision. Joking that he will have to explain it to Trump
Trump will be raging at the thought of allowing a FBI investigation.
Wow. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so disgusting.
What are you even talking about here? Are your eyes infected by a disease that means you can only misread half sentences three quarters of the way through an article? Let me get this straight, you'd rather falsely claim that a thousand babies were molested by Catholic priests in Pennsylvania alone than admit to the fact you've absolutely no clue as to the mentality of victims of sexual assault. I don't even.. man... what can I even say to that?
Here's the actual report, referenced in the article I linked. Do a search for "years old" and get back to me with more of your reasoned analysis.
In other news, Ford was actually 15 in the summer of 1982.
Yes Grassley pushed it right at the end and Flake voted yes but just made that speech about how he wants a 1 week investigation
Does America have a foreign legion ?
Others might take the same position as Flake though?
Yeah , I will wait for them to appear.
You know IF the Rs would even allow an investigation they ll have it on their terms and it ll be used to their favor. If only to claim look how fair we are and how stupid and obstructionist the Dems are. I have a feeling that once again they ll get played my McConnell and Co.
Just saw that … "guess that'll be my job."
16 is an age at which you are practically a grown woman? That's disgusting.
If it divided on party lines it would be 51 to 49
If flake abstains that would be 50 to 49
So they could afford one more abstaining and then pence gets the casting vote I think
Certainly close and for the sake of a week if they are confident the FBI investigation will be pointless then it might be worth it from the reps point of view
They probably think that he did it and that an investigation would reveal more things.
if turtle face does not delay and Trump does not order the FBi investigation he will vote No.
"Incredible moment in the history of our country " Yeah, incredibly disgraceful.
If I was Brett I would tell them to pull the nomination. Because who knows what the feck they would dig up
It's one of the dumbest things I've ever read, never mind disgusting.
Pretty much evidence that the poster must have the life experience of a 14 year old atheist that's never left their room.
As would the Collins and Murk most likely.
I hate Grassley.
Unless he changes his mind again....
Wow, almost as idiotic a collection of replies as that cat who was recently trying to speak up for keeping the Confederate statues up in the south.
PTSD is only for veterans? Man, you just need to stop typing what you are thinking. You are making a fool of yourself.
A lot of people may decide to come forward in a week's time as well.
Trump's explanation of the situation while next to the president of Chili is comedy gold
They are going to find Judge and interview him....and if he says he and Kav were in the room with Ford then he is toast.
There's no point quoting or responding to Dumat (emphasise the first syllable), as he's probably not coming back any time soon, and if he did he'd walk into 10,000 notifications.
He should probably look up the Jimmy Savile case and all the dodgy DJs if he's not from the UK, and ask why their victims didn't "Immediately" report it.

You are joined by millions in that feeling
This whole process has felt like it’s gone on for a year, and they want it to go on even more?
I feel so sorry for Dr Ford
