The Democrats hold 24 seats on the Judicially Committee, and the Republicans hold 17 seats. It you had just four Democrats who vote ‘no’...the Committee can’t move the package to the House.

Scanlon (D) from Penn might be a ‘no’...she marginally won her last election. Stanton (D) from Arizona is another possibility.

That might be the best solution for the dems...not to vote it out of committee. It's a win-win for them. They can say "we tried" and that they did their due process. Shuts down AOC and her ilk cause there's no way they'll do it again after this. The fact that they're passing two huge Trump bills also makes me think that they believe Trump is going to be around to sign them.

I am surprised the DEMs put anyone on the judiciary after the 2018 elections, knowing fully well they would impeach Trump, who might even consider voting against the articles. This should be a slam dunk. The rest is just theatrics.

Stanton was my mayor. I doubt he would be a NO.
