At 11:00 a.m, the Senate will VOTE on cloture for Exec. Cal. #33, Neil Gorsuch, of Colorado, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

That's just a bad graphic. The procedural vote is simple majority. They are voting to revote the 60-vote vote.

They’ll probably vote to take a six month vacation.

Why don’t they make it a six YEAR vacation and do us all a favor.

Am I the only one here who’s totally confused? NTTAWWT...

[Tonytitan]

Nuke 'em! Reid Rule!

And that is exactly what the title of it should be!

[txhurl]

I’ll take 10 days; that’s the threshold for recess appointments to happen.

“Am I the only one here who’s totally confused? NTTAWWT...”

Nope I am also and what does “NTTAWWT” mean, that is confusing also LOL

[Redleg Duke]

Oh, slit your wrists and be done with it!

Motion to Reconsider...McConnell is now taking them through the mundane procedures to lead up to the point of going ‘nuclear.’

[Vic S]

f GOPe acts like normal, the next supremes will be Schumer, Sharpton, barbara Lee, and Michael Moore.

They probably wish Maxine Waters was a little younger.

Thanks.

Vote to limite debate (60 needed) failed: 55/45
Motion to take the vote over (reconsider) will pass, it has more than 50

Then, I think, a motion to change the rules before taking the agreed on reconsideration vote.

[InterceptPoint]

Voice vote: McConnell changes back to YES. One more change.

So final tally is

YES 55
NO 45

On to Nuke.

[faithhopecharity]

Yes! Maxine waters is the perfect Democrap and GOPe Supreme Court nominee. (Since pelosi is just TOO dammed ugly, ha!) — also obama’s “reverend” Wright

[Political Junkie Too]

Is Schumer grandstanding or is he trying to pull a fast one?

-PJ

[Republican Wildcat]

Oh great...now we have to sit through listening to Schumer’s nonsense.

[Right_in_Virginia]

What are they voting on now at Chuckie’s request?

[Cementjungle]

Apparently Schumer runs the Senate.

[Pravious]

Dirtbag RAT wants to postpone. I hope the RATS don’t go for it. Go nuclear and get this over with.
