It generally looks ugly, but we've actually made significant progress in the Senate. Owen has been sworn in, Brown will be confirmed tomorrow, and I have every expectation that Bolton will be confirmed as well.
The Senate rarely moves as fast as we'd like. But delay is not the same as defeat.
I don't view the confirmations of Owens and Brown as success IF the other Justices are not guarenteed the same right to an up or down vote as the price. Until I see all Justices receive their day on the floor, in a straight up and down vote, nothing of significance has changed.
Bolton should have been confirmed months ago. These Justices years ago. This isn't simply the usual Senate delay, it is outright defiance of their role under the Constitution.
When and If all these votes occur then I'll celebrate.
yes, but that is a tough sell around here!
