Many Democrat senators have already made it clear that they plan to vote “no” on the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. However, there are at least a couple of Dems who haven’t announced their decisions:
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a key Dem swing vote, says this just now when I asked if she has seen any red flags on Brett Kavanaugh: “Not that I’ve seen so far … But I’m still reviewing the record.”

Joe Donnelly, another vulnerable Dem and swing vote, said of Kavanaugh: “I’m still reviewing everything at this point”
He said he would make a decision in the “near future”
But declined to comment further

Those Dems not coming out quickly and directly against Kavanaugh’s confirmation has caused a great disturbance on the Left, starting with former Clinton campaign spox Brian Fallon:
This is an unbelievable thing to say.https://t.co/J8FFfBlQbB

We’ll be surprised if those senators don’t eventually fall in line, but Heitkamp and Donnelly failing to run with the approved talking points is not going over well among the Resistance.

If there were any more red flags he’d be a matador, @SenatorHeitkamp. https://t.co/2l9cWvSfW2

Wow. He lied under oath. He hurled sexist attacks at Hillary Clinton. He coached SCOTUS nominees to be evasive during their confirmation hearings. The list goes on and on. Not that excited about phonebanking for Heitkamp in this moment. https://t.co/gMVS7cM2po

Really, @HeidiHeitkamp? Not the perjury? Not the toadying or the lack of transparency?
Are you #kompromat too?
Red flags look white through rose colored glasses. Look again.

@SenatorHeitkamp … Don't you care in the least, about what the gop are trying to hide in kavanaugh's records? Don't you care in the least that the majority of Americans don't want this judge? Don't you care……………??? https://t.co/l057hl8fUK

??Really @SenatorHeitkamp? You can’t be serious. Evidently you just don’t give AF! Brett Kavanaugh is a walking, talking RED FLAG! You’re either blind or just as corrupt as the rest of them. https://t.co/sSoc0BTbpO

This statement tells me a lot about Heidi Heitkamp. And it's not favorable https://t.co/jjSzGWEJKd

Hey Indiana! Your Senator @JoeforIndiana needs some phone calls! You should remind him that he has a duty to protect healthcare coverage for constituents w/pre-existing conditions, as well as to support workers and unions. Both of these are on the line with this SCOTUS pick! https://t.co/Bo3l3mk5Jl
