WATCH LIVE: Senators debate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court prior to vote

U.S. senators are already speaking out -- both pro and con -- on scandal-plagued Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court prior to a vote scheduled for later on Saturday.

Kavanaugh is expected to receive a very narrow vote in his favor after GOP Sen. Susan Collins (R-DE) dashed all hopes on Friday that she would vote against his confirmation despite the allegations against him.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) has already announced that he would go against his party's wishes and would vote to confirm the justice who is expected to give the highest court in the land a solid 5-4 conservative majority.
