Thank You.
I was anticipating that it was something along those lines. Well, fortunately the United States Senate is managed by such truly honorable persons. This should all turn out just terrific.
I saw this online...
-McConnell and Chucky Cheese agreed to a
power-sharing plan in February that splits
committee membership in half.
~The powerful Senate Judiciary Committee
has 11 Dems and 11 Repubs (most of whom
are hardline Cons, like Cruz and Hawley).
~Under the agreement, which Harris does
not play *any* role in, if there is a tie in
the motion to advance the nominee out
of Commitee, the nomination is rendered
“inert”. Meaning it’s essentially tabled.
~What that means under Senate rules is
Schumer can still bring the nomination to the
floor for a vote, and override the commitee.
However, however, however.because the
nominee was not advanced by a majority of
the commitee it faces a filibuster and he has
to invoke cloture.
-If you’ve studied civics with me, you’ll know
that you need *60* votes to invoke cloture,
otherwise you face a Republican filibuster.
-In short, unless Graham, Hawley, Cruz, or
some other Republican on the committee,
breaks ranks, Biden’s Nominee will need TEN
Republicans and *all* Dems to be confirmed.
Not gonna happen.
Well, fortunately the United States Senate is managed by such truly honorable persons.
