Biden now says he will vote against cloture "the first time?"..WTF..??
It's a mess. Me thinks much of this is to deny the President the PR of Associate Justice Alito being in the House Chamber during the SOTU message.
LOL. He's trying to argue there's a need for more debate. That is, given more time (i.e., intervening time to the next cloture vote), he'd vote in favor of a cloture motion. But the DEMs didn't use much time on Friday, none on Saturday, and could have had Sunday, if they wanted to debate.
In short, he's full of crap, and it's showing again.
