I’m betting on at least one of my Georgia Senators - Johnny Isakson.

Flake, Collins, Kirk are the three for sure.

Who are the 5 Republicans that are NOT going to vote for Lynch?

There, much more realistic...

One can feel reasonably confident that the Republican Senators are having a private meeting now to determine which five (or whatever they need for comfirmation) can get away with voting for Lynch and still be re-elected.

Isn't it just a little too odd that everything we hate passes by just one vote (or so)?

I can be pretty sure that comrade senator susie collins will be one of the supporters of Lynch, after all anyone that is dedicated to both lesbianism and destroying the Constitution is a friend of susie’s.

Dan Coates (IN) is opposed to Lynch, thank goodness. You never know with him.

Whoever they are — they must agree with Lynch that any illegal invader has as much right to your job as you do.

I’m betting it will be much more than 5.

Yesterday, I cited a Congressional Quarterly analysis showing that Senate Republicans have voted with Obama more than 50% since the beginning of the new Congress – more than they did while serving in the minority. But there’s more to the story. It’s not just the fact that Republicans are voting with Obama, it’s that they have deliberately ceded structural control of the chamber to Democrats.

Typically, the majority party will manipulate the floor process to block initiatives from the minority party and vote on wedge issues favorable to their side – ones that embarrass those in the minority. As such, even if the majority party lacks the votes to overcome a filibuster and pass the legislation, they can use the amendment process on the bill to shame the minority and draw sharp contrasts in the hopes of winning the next election. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) was the ultimate master at pursuing Obama’s agenda while blocking all Republican amendments.
