One of the GOP Senators (Corker? Don't feel like looking it back up right now.) said that they may not vote that day but ~regular order~ requires a 3 day advance notice so they scheduled it today ~just in case~ they're ready to vote.) I dunno, I still feel like this is all part of some kind of maximum pressure campaign by McConnell/Grassley/GOP leadership on the handful of Senators that might waffle on this. I do think Murkowski sounds like a no - though she did walk back one of her stronger statements a bit a while ago - but the others? I don't trust them to actually vote no if a vote is forced. Not yet at least. I've written Collins off completely. She's absolutely a yes vote and has said some absurd BS in support of that. The scales in my mind are tipping back towards "Vote held and confirmed" but I don't know if it's crossed over to the other side of 50/50 yet. I just don't know how the hearing doesn't make things worse for them. They even went and hired outside counsel to handle the questioning instead of doing it themselves. Like, wow. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
