Voting starts this AM.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the vote will be largely along party lines.

You must be clairvoyant, lol.

Gorsuch was also a party line vote.

From what I read - the Democratic Senators held what could be interpreted as nothing more than political theater and didn't even bother to show up.

Yes, I heard that somewhere, I don't know whether it was the news or who. But they said that most weren't going to. That seems childish kinda when Nancy was controlling whatever that was and through her signals no one would clap on that side of the room. I think it was Trump and his speeches on what to expect for the coming year. They were like her puppets. You'd think they would balk at that kind of control. Sorry, I wandered, lol. I am sorry about this thread because I have been checking all the stations and see no voting going on. I wonder what happened? Are they going to run the vote during the debate, that's funny.

I'd swear the station said they would break in when it started show I thought sure that meant it would be televised.

Guess they knew it's a slam dunk.

She should not have bern nominated and her failure to affirm election interference!!!, the voting rights act!!!, and other well established picked are legal disqualifies her to be confirmed.
There is a criminal in the White House trying to cripple the USPS to interfere with the election right now.
A brainwashedi deologue corrupted by an ideological Notre Dame professor.

The Lady understands the law better than anyone on this board. Take negative remarks towards her with a grain of salt.

A good Christian Lady.

the vote was supposed to be yesterday but I have seen nothing on it. Did she get in?

The republicans voted yesterday to forward the vote to the full Senate floor, which occurs Monday...

Yesterdays vote was just procedural, it always needed to get to the full Senate.

It’s hilarious to see people on the internet talk about how unqualified she is. I’m pretty sure she’d match wits with any of these trolls.

Under committee rules there were to have been two Democrats present for the vote. There was only one present. The Republicans violated the rules. I guess the Senate Republicans think rules don't apply to them.

For the record, Barrett is certainly qualified to be on the court. Of course Obama nominee Merrick Garland was also qualified but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't even give him the courtesy of a hearing. Double standard. The Republicans will have no right to complain when they are in the minority but I'm sure they will.

Biden is proposing a bipartisan commission to address how to insure balanced, non-partisan functional courts in the future. Recommendations will be presented in 180 days.

As Justice Roberts has indicated in his last votes, a court that has lost the country's support and respect cannot function.

Trump/McConnell's legacy is a dysfunctional court system that has already fractured the country and will veto most laws passed under progressive administrations.

I know Biden has been vetting a few Republicans for posts in his administration--Kasich, Flake, Meg Whitman. Perhaps they can join this commission.

Ok fine. How about this? We got it wrong last time. Sorry. We’ll get it right this time. Move forward. Happy?

Somehow, confirming a nominee and giving a nominee the 'courtesy' of a hearing don't seem like the same thing.

Barrett has no business discussing issues that could potentially be in front of her on the Supreme Court. You want her to affirm election interference but there are criminal cases on that issue that could end up in front of her. This includes interference in this years election caused by Russia and Iran. As for the voting rights act, that law has been in front of the Supreme Court within the last 5 years on one or two occasions. Barrett has no business commenting on it.

The post office has nothing to do with Barrett, bringing it up makes you look completely unhinged.

Oh yes, like that makes up for past wrongs. Why not do the same thing and put it off until after the election?
