I don't think they will. I've been cussing Grassley out for two weeks now but I don'r really think any of this is his fault. I'm sure he's been working closely with McConnell. Mitch is whipping the votes and knows that Collins and Murkowski would have flipped if they thought Ford hadn't gotten a 'fair' hearing. She's getting her hearing today and I have a feeling its going to blow up in the rats faces.
The fact that we're having the hearing today tells me that the two RINO 'ladies' are still on board. Mitch is a lot of things but he's been very good with Judiciary nominations. He may hate the President but he likes his judges.
That’s our ace in the hole.
At the end of the day Mitch is REALLY, REALLY P*SSED.
The Democrats have been playing games with these nominations for over a decade. Whatever else you think of The Turtle he is a stickler for Senate process and tradition. He keeps thinking he has partners across the aisle who agree, only to have them turn around and stab him in the back whenever it suits them.
If the Dems get away with this the process is broken forever. In his heart of hearts I know that is something Mitch cannot abide.
He is going to cram this down and strongarm as many votes as it takes.
Yours is a cogent analysis. Thank you.
Thanks for being the voice of sanity.
Grassley won’t hold a vote until the votes to confirm are there.
