sorry: that "whip count" "compromise" is NOT acceptable.
It gives all the Demodogs the ability to say "Gee, whiz: it was not ME who voted against the minority woman" --- it was those rascally Republicans." ---> No accountability.
No compromise. Up or down majority vote is the only Constitutional option.
Levin on Sean now
REPUBLICAN STAFFERS READING THIS THREAD-
IF you think you can compromise away votes without our knowing about it, THINK AGAIN. RINO's in Committee, we will make you PAY at your elections. IF you are putting together a deal to give away your votes to avoid a rules change it is UNACCEPTABLE. Either get your acts together or start packing.
I'm confident that Owen has more than 50 who would vote to confirm. THe only reason she has less than 60 is becuase the DEMs have dug in so far they need to save face.
