and a few others in the past 24 hours. SOMETHING. IS. HAPPENING.
Holy cow. I just tried to go to Thomas Wictor’s site.
He’s been suspended by Twitter. The others listed also. Liberals are the Devil.
1) Ok, some realities.
First, Grassley was brilliant. He did NOT agree with Flakey's suggestion for a week's delay and FBI investigation. He simply called the vote.
2) The vote to favorably recommend Judge K out was 11-10, with Flakey voting for it---possibly thinking . . .
2) . . . Grassley had agreed to it. But he didn't.
3) Now the entire matter is in Yertle's hands and out of Grassley's hands.
4) Next up, tomorrow we will see the Ds begin to filibuster and stall, and Yertle will call for cloture.
5) There is a mandated delay between the call for a cloture vote and the vote itself, which by Senate rules will happen MONDAY.
6) Here is where the rubber meets the road. If Flakey is serious about voting against K, he would vote no on cloture. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
7) Even without Flakey, if Yertle has Tom Collins and MurCowSki on board, he can win the cloture vote.
8) That would tell us Flakey is a no, but wouldn't necessarily tell us how Tom Collilns and MurCowSki would vote.
9) However, I don't think a "no" vote on the floor would be a "yes" on cloture. In other words, I think we'll know MONDAY the final vote. A person wanting to vote no on K would almost certainly NOT vote for cloture.
