I see that Lisa Murkowski has come out saying she's not voting for Stone-Manning. Which surprised me greatly.
After a quick look, it appears the committee either reports favorably, unfavorably or without recommendation to the full Senate. Since 2013, a simple majority can end a filibuster. And it's a simple majority vote to confirm. So, even if every Republican voted not to confirm, it appears it wouldn't make a difference. The only chance is if some Democrats refuse to confirm.
Answer is no, they don't listen to us and never did.
Threatening them at the ballot box doesn't work.
They all are beholden to the $$$$$ man no matter who that is.
Here’s a strange story.
American Airlines orders passengers to put their hands on their heads for last hour of flight over ‘security threat’
“Passengers were ordered to put their hands on their heads for 45-60 minutes before landing,” Chris Nguyen, who was on the flight, wrote on Twitter. “Strangely, passengers were repeatedly told not to film on the plane.”
Flight 2289 departed from Los Angeles and landed in Miami on Wednesday afternoon. But about an hour before it landed, passengers say, the flight’s crew ordered them all to put their hands up, citing the unnamed security threat.
Once the plane was on the ground, Mr Nguyen says, armed police boarded the aircraft and made an arrest.
“Any idea why law enforcement came on with machine guns and arrested a guy on @AmericanAir Flight 2289 from LAX to MIA?” the customer asked local news station KTLA.
Call me cynical, but it must have been a Trump supporter.
