Trump may not have a shred of anything resembling a principle or empathetic human impulse, but you can always count on him to do the “right thing” if it appears he is in danger of losing at something. Was that really so fucking hard, Donald?
Thank you, Senator Flake. It’s just a shame that it takes retirement and nothing left to lose for anyone in that party to behave with decency.
Now let’s see where this goes.

Remember that he only backed down after he was confronted by a gang of angry women. He's no fucking hero. He was perfectly willing to sell out to the WLB until some people called him on it and shamed him into it.
The real hero is Lisa Murkowsky. She's not retiring.

Her lawyer already attested in the hearing that he paid for it, if I remember correctly.
Come on now, Neo. The judiciary Committee had plenty of time to vet her! 😉

True. But Flake’s actions help to give Murkowsky cover with the Senate leadership.
But yes, thank you especially, Senator Murkowsky.

Meh. I'm glad to see this development, but not hopeful. Trump is likely reopening the investigation to undercut Democratic furor in the upcoming elections. And it's probably a prudent calculation on his part.

Nope and even if he did you just invent an excuse to ignore the science you Republicans always do

Nope and even if he did you would still weave some absurd conspiracy that the Dems somehow paid him to lie

The story will be in the news another week. The GOP just lost another week before the midterms. Depending on what the investigation finds, there could be an even longer delay with the GOP filling the 9th SCOTUS spot.
Moreover, Trump really had no choice. McConnell doesn't have the votes with the Flake coalition holding out for an investigation. If he did, he would've said "Screw you, we're voting this weekend and finalizing the confirmation by early next week."

That was my thinking before hearing that Murkowski wouldn't confirm him without an FBI investigation. As I noted in slack, that Flake had called for a delay seemed to indicate that the Republicans didn't get what they were looking for out of the closed door meeting with Manchin, Flake, Collins, and Murkowsky after the hearings yesterday. Given that Trump has caved, likely at the request of Republican leadership, suggests that they really didn't get what they wanted out of that meeting.
(Thinking about it now, Murkowsky alone probably wouldn't have been sufficient. There is a mix of a handful of senators, any one of which voting to confirm would seal the deal. This leans towards suggesting even that much may be in doubt.)
