Sen. @JohnCornyn on Democrats voting to confirm SCOTUS nominee Kavanaugh: We saw three Democrats vote for Gorsuch—we will see something in that range for Kavanaugh. I think it would be hard to explain a vote for Gorsuch and against Kavanaugh. pic.twitter.com/iZY4Gb1HWd

Via Daily Caller:
GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the number two Republican in the Senate, anticipates that Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court will attract the support of the entire GOP caucus and a handful of Democrats.
Speaking Sunday to Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation,” Cornyn said Kavanaugh will likely command 53-54 “yes” votes, given his professional commonalities with Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was confirmed in 2017 54-45.
“We saw three Democrats vote with all the Republicans for Neil Gorsuch,” the senator said. “I think we’ll see something in that range for Brett Kavanaugh.”
