Hopefully, they have enough of the swing votes they need.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley read the FBI supplemental report on Brett Kavanaugh and declared, “There’s nothing in it that we didn’t already know.”
The senator was briefed on the report at 8 a.m. Thursday and released a statement soon after promising a vote for Kavanaugh.
“It’s time to vote. I’ll be voting to confirm Judge Kavanaugh,” he said.
Grassley also said, “I trust that career agents of the FBI have done their work independent of political or partisan considerations. That’s exactly what senators from both sides asked for. Now it’s up to senators to fulfill their Constitutional duty and make a judgment.”
Grassley continued, “The Senate is not a courtroom. But the our nation’s tradition of fairness still applies. A presumption of innocence is how the American justice system works and it should remain our guidepost in the Senate. Abandoning that principle would cut a sad path for the Senate as an institution.”
“Senators ought to wipe away the muck from all the mudslinging and politics and look at this nomination with clear eyes,” Grassley concluded.
