This was not the confirmation vote.

I'm aware of that. Are you predicting that the confirmation vote will be any different? Will some Republican who voted against a filibuster now take the disgustingly phony position of voting against Hamilton's confirmation?

Of course. Sessions made a valiant try, but he couldn't hold up the vote forever. Bless him.

Voting for cloture is standard procedure and hardly a crime against humanity. I would expect all but Snowe and Collins to vote against Hamilton. You can never predict where they will fall. Orrin Hatch gave an incredible speech yesterday denouncing him. As did John Cornyn.
