No Cloture Today?

Obviously I still don’t believe that the FIB is balanced and operating fairly towards our side of the aisle. McConnell has said that Kavanaugh will be voted on this week. Sunday is not this week.

It’s just Wednesday. And they are saying that one copy has been released to the Senate.

I believe I heard that they invoke Cloture, there is a day of rest, then a discussion and the next day the vote?

I think it’s too late in the day for a vote today, the majority wouldn’t want to be painted as “working in the dark of night to sneak it through”. I would expect a vote tomorrow. Especially if there’s “no there there” in the FBI reports.

There is only a need of 51 votes for cloture. They can probably manage that, even if they don’t have the votes.

There needs to be time for Flake and Koswki to get over the vapors from Trump telling the truth at that rally in Mississippi. Give Mitch time, he knows what he’s doing.

Cloture is a move to end discussion, not start it. McConnell can bring anything he wants to the floor for discussion at any time. DemocRats are ruing the day Reid changed cloture to a majority for judicial nominees instead of 60.

OMG!! How did such WEAK SISTERS, Collins, Murkowski, Flake and others, get elected???? They get the VAOPRS OVER EVERYTHIG!! How do they make LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS??

McConnell can file a motion to end debate today. Then it has to ripen. Likely he does this tonight.

I still don’t believe that the FIB is balanced

FIB+FBI contains 35,000 employees. Hopefully Trump steered the investigation and report handling with the FBI portion, and kept it out of the hands of the FIB part.

Cloture has to be called for. Then there is a one day wait

Today? They won’t have any kind of vote including cloture until the Senators have had time to see the report. Given they have to go to a secure area to see it I suspect that will take a bit of time during Thursday.

Most calendars are Monday-Sunday, with sunday part of the current week.

And we are now getting a lot of one sentence
twitter postings as threads about this topic.
Things be changing for sure.

Sorry.

Sorry. I am confused about the next steps and didn’t want to hijack any other thread to find out the story. The Mod can delete if believes it unnecessary.

“How did such WEAK SISTERS, Collins, Murkowski, Flake and others, get elected????”

I can answer this! :-)

1> Collins is from Maine ... she at least has a credible excuse to behave the way she behaves. That puts her at the top of the class of the people that you mentioned with a D+ grade point average.

2> Flake flat out lied while campaigning and is a shyster. He’s a complete fraud and AZ voters should be refunded any money they wasted on that man. At least he’s gone.

3> Murkowski is the vilest of the vile. Murkowski was beaten soundly in the 2010 primary. Of course, the scummy elitist couldn’t understand that she lost and knows she’s mostly worthless w/o power, so she decided that she had to plow ahead with a write in campaign ... Alaska has no sore loser laws. She managed to win the write in campaign as an independent and switched back to Republican. Of course, the GOP welcomed her back with open arms and she managed to win again in 2016 ... proof that powermongers love to powermong :-).

Of the three above, Murkowski needs to be told to hit the road in 2022 ... tell her to switch to the Democrats. She is disgusting. I don’t think Collins is going to run again.

The Murk CHEATED that great guy with the beard out of his election!! She is a BITCH!

Not defending Murkowski, but Alaska is much more of a “gimmedat” state then I realized. Its been pointed out to me by several Alaskans & former Alaskans that the denizens of the state only want you to think they’re rugged independent individualists. Thats just for the reality TV shows. They’re really quite content with being on the dole.

She sold the idea that her no longer being in DC threatened that. And they bought it!
