(19,489 posts)He'll vote to confirm unless he's convinced that there aren't enough votes, in which case perhaps he'll try to score a few points by voting against.
He's not undecided. He's just waiting to see which way benefits him the most.

(7,596 posts)The odds aren't good for him anyway considering he's up for re-election in a blue/purple state in a presidential election year when turnout will be high, but he'll probably at least have a fighting chance if he doesn't aid an attempted rapist in getting on the Supreme Court.

(2,795 posts)We confronted him over so many issues, he was inundated with protestors for Becky De Vos, and he voted yes on her. He's such a total lap dog, he is in no way tough enough to buck the party and vote no.
I sent him an email last night but I just can't see him voting no. He's on his way out in 2020. There are grassroots groups I canvased for on the local level and they told him during the De Vos confirmation he was their target. He was an very unfortunate by product of a midterm election. We can do so much better here in Colorado.

(14,565 posts)The undecideds are all too weak and intimidated. Otherwise one would get together with the others and say, "Can't we do better than this? Why are we settling for Brett Kavanaugh?"
They could get together for a press conference and explain exactly that theme. The Republicans could assert they want and will vote for someone with similar priorities, but minus the temperament issues and questionable background. All of them could emphasize that the country will be much better off once the new justice is nominated and goes through the same process that Kavanaugh partially failed.
Republicans would be outraged at first but these matters move so quickly I doubt it would linger. But Democrats would have to understand the suicidal danger of immediately criticizing and arguing against the next nominee.

(17,984 posts)I wrote to him about how bad Sessions was, and he sent me a form letter about how JBeau was going to be such a wonderful AG, how he could do no wrong. It's no use trying to convince him to do the right thing.
