Excellent. They'll probably let half through so they can say they are still holding the line.

Committee vote doesn't guarantee floor vote. Not without cloture.

My source tell me they are going to let Brown thru as well as to not give Republicans the chance to play the race card.

Thank you for the Info.
The only question is whether the Republicans have the courage to get her the vote she and the President deserve. Right now I'm not hopeful on that prospect.
To: Trueblackman
So did any RATs vote for her?

True, but the Democrats have been losing the PR Battle on this since last week.

I think the democrats let her through to embarrass Frist.
They know that they'll not get cloture, or enough votes to change the senate rule to forbid a filibuster.

So did any RATs vote for her? Straight party-line vote. Same 10-8 count voted Janice Rogers Brown out as well.
