The resolution, as I understand it, never had a chance of passing and was just for show, because all it takes is one Dem to vote it down anyway. (A resolution must be unanimously passed and doesn’t even then have any legislative power, as it is only passed by one chamber of Congress and therefore not given to the President for signing anyway.)

A resolution is not much, but it us more than nothing.

Number of Republicans signing on is important.

Wording us important.

Most of the reluctant are probably fussing about the wording or are concerned about other issues.

Such as the obvious democrat demand that they ‘recuse for having prejudged’ the issue’

You are correct but optics wise, this wouldn’t look good if a majority of the Senate voted against the resolution.
