There are likely budget things that need to be done. Also, if Murkowski and Flake switch parties, it won’t be McConnell in charge - will be Schumer.

I think keeping powder dry until January is safer.

Old Leftist Bitties demand others believe what they believe. Disagree with them at your own risk!

If that were it, Murkowski would be going for a bargain basement price.

Senators cannot be impeached. They can be expelled. You don’t really think they can muster 51 votes to remove her, do you? My point is just that our time is better spent figuring out which ten friends we’re going to get to the polls, rather than fantasizing about scenarios that are not going to heppen

Believe me, I know. I live near West Virginia, and despite their professed Conservative leanings they LOOOOOOOOVED having Robert C. Byrd in the Senate to build all kinds of fancy things for them with other people’s money.

Some of them bear plaques bragging about how no West Virginia money was spent on them.

Same with Murkowski.

There will probably be a horrific mass shooting in the next 30 hours. This is a very real possibility with these evil people.

So, does Trump agree to not campaign again in West Virginia to get Manchin’s vote tomorrow? He’s leading by 8 points right now.

Grassley has done a great job.

Regarding Collins & Murkowski, they are simply not announcing their vote. They will vote Aye.

I see you might subscribe to the nothing happens by chance history book. Movers and shakers just can`t allow things to just happen.

.Murkowski will be a no tomorrow she doesn't have enough spine power to do otherwise against this dinosaur.

She's 99.9% NO tomorrow. One would not vote down cloture and then switch to a Y vote...highly, highly unlikely.

Wonder if ChiFi threatened to break her legs.

No because the scum have made what ever they say as Senators protected from legal action.

I did not know that James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, John Adams, and the other members of the Constitution Convention of 1787 were "scum." FYI, Art I, §6, ¶1 of the United States Constitution provides as follows:

"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.6 They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place." [Emphasis added.]

This provision, known as the "speech and debate clause," grants members of Congress both criminal and civil immunity for statements made during speeches and debates, no matter how egregious, false, or offensive the statement.

And those two things are EXACTLY what their disgusting treatment and abuse of this decent man was about.

I think unfortunately one of the unintended consequences of this is that women are going to have a much more difficult time running for the Senate.

America can plainly see that a good man’s reputation had been mugged. If women in the Senate are enablers for that, people are going to quit electing women to the Senate.

Writing law to protect yourself from the consequences of your actions is the behavior of scum
