Minnesota jurist Wilhelmina Marie Wright's written accusation that President Reagan tolerated racism did not hinder her ascent to the federal bench. The Senate voted 58-36 on Tuesday evening to confirm President Barack Obama's nominee to U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

What did Cruz do? Oh nothing? No filibuster? No convincing others to vote no? Oh the status quo from him, how predictable. Well I don’t even know if he showed up to vote.
To: PROCON
Holy crap. Cruz skipped this vote. Wow.

Holy crap. Cruz skipped this vote. Uh oh.
To: MamaTexan
Not a surprise. I find it interesting the votes he skip are typically ones that are difficult for him. It has been a trend. He doesn’t want blood on his hands.
To: napscoordinator
Oh my! He missed the vote? Wow...just wow.
