I'm not giving any Republicans any benefit of any doubt. They forfeited any right to any such thing by voting for Neil Gorsuch after refusing to insist that Merrick Garland be granted the bare minimum of hearings and a vote. That includes Flake and Collins and Murkowski and the rest who want to pose as principled servants of The People. They have been no such thing.
I don't give a pint of piss for the traditions of the Senate and the comfortable comity of Senators. If Flake wanted anything like a benefit of the doubt, he could have done what any decent Senator would have and voted against Kavanaugh on the basis of his already demonstrated perjury, lies, evasion, the concealment of his record, his insistence on his sense of entitlement being fulfilled AND HIS OUTRAGEOUS DISPLAY OF YESTERDAY. That last one alone disqualifies him for a judge, never mind a Supreme Court justice.
