Now Mittens may be a downgrade from Hatch, but I hope McConnell doesn’t put him on the Judiciary Committee.
Only let him vote on judges in the final vote. If he goes stupid, we still have the Pence tie-breaker. Hopefully Collins learned from the Kavanaugh fight just how evil the Democrats are.
Murkowski? Hopeless. Primary her out in 2020 (Sasse too).
There’s a pecking order to committe asignments. Former governors and US House members get to pick ahead of other new senators.
