President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

For those in the back.

 

Susan Collins will be concerned, but will vote
With the party.

 

Doesn’t matter. They have all the Democrats in line, for once.

 

No, that's not her MO. When her vote doesn't MATTER to the party, as it apparently does not in this case, she'll vote to confirm. If her vote was the one to sink Jackson, she'd vote no. There's a method to her spinelessness.

 

These are the stakes, keep a flawed Democratic Party in power or these ghouls:

In a suburban Fort Worth House runoff, Republicans debate killing women over abortion

 

Absurd.

There's no hyphen between "illegally" and "plotted."

 

I know legacy and history books don't matter much to most of them, but surely there are a few Republicans who will vote yes.
Do you really want to be remembered in history as voting Yes for Barrett and Kavanaugh but No on Jackson?

 

^Republican senators to indulge

 

Romney won't and neither will Sasse (another phony) for that matter. They talk big game about civility and reasonableness and when the rubber hits the road, they're always with the far right but they're nicer about it. Maybe Collins and Murkowski but I still guess Mitch pressures them to get it to where Harris has to cast the tiebreaker.

 

First black female VP casts deciding vote for first black female on SCOTUS.
That's a movie script right there.

 

I find it amazing that Twitter left is such a smart judge of GOP facial expression. They knew everything Kavanaugh's wife was thinking, too.
