What am I missing here? How could the Dems "let" Owens through the committee? It was a party-line vote, wasn't it? All Owens needed was for the Republicans to show up and vote in solidarity, right?
She may be out of committee, but she still hasn't had a floor vote---and that is when the poo-poo is gonna hit the fan, because the dems are saying that she would have to have 60 votes to be confirmed---
The GOP is saying no, just a simple majority of 51 votes--
THAT is when the filibuster starts, unless the dems have decided to hold their fire until the Supreme nominee, but I doubt it because after the Bolton fiasco, they know they have the GOP senators on defense, not offense.
So they are gonna go for the hail-mary and send out Drew Pearson---
