From the above link
Hamilton, who would sit on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago if confirmed, has said his decisions as a federal judge can amend the U.S. Constitution by adding footnotes to it.

The games senators play. Nine GOP senators will now say they voted against Hamilton's confirmation, in the hope that most Americans are still too uninformed to know that the cloture vote, where ten of them voted for cloture, is the real vote that allowed Hamilton's confirmation.
Interpretation and amending are two different things.

Bye bye RINO’s goodbye, RINO’s goodbye. Let’s get rid of these traitors.
Trying to make nice with the AP. Keep the wifey’s story away from the voters at home.
