Not Voting - 1
McCain (R-AZ)
48 Republicans, Dems Donnelly, Heitkamp, Manchin, Nelson, Shaheen, Warner voted to confirm.
Flake and Paul voted with the Dems against.
McCain AWOL.
Besides, that's much easier to regulate.
If a light bulb exposed to the genitals doesn't light up bright, you're not quite there yet.
I want to know what the Senate Rules are for being able to cast a vote. How did McCain cast a vote? I thought the rule was you had to be there in person to do so. I have heard stories of senators that literally had to be carried in to vote. So how can McCain vote from Arizona?
She never answered Rand’s question
Did you collude with Brennan?
are you one of the conspirators?
Wow, I would have predicted McCaskill would cross over.
Ace McCain was busy.........he heard the Navy needed a few more planes destroyed.
Just recently came across this myself. Would love to know the whole of it. Suspect she wasn’t involved. Trump would never appoint her.
Of course, there may well be more than meets the eye.
McCaskill is going to be gone in a few months!
Fingers crossed!
Why, I'll bet google has it.
No, they won’t. Voters seem happy with them. As has been noted, all the incumbent republicans won their primaries this past Tuesday.
She is a career person and not a political person, so I have to think at best, she is neutral.
All republican incumbents have won their primaries but one. If we clean house in November, that would mean the democrats win the House, so I’m not sure how that helps.
See post 42.
The Rats who voted “aye” obviously aren’t ready to hand in their Senate passes yet.
lol....
Who?
And nobody caring, like a senile old coot who keeps shouting obscenities and throwing things, but is now in a nursing home.
