The Senate on Thursday confirmed Steven Menashi to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, bringing an end to a confirmation battle that at times drew ire from members of both parties toward the judicial nominee.
The Senate confirmed Menashi 51 to 41, largely along party lines. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, broke with her party to vote against the nominee. Menashis confirmation flips the Second Circuit to a majority of Republican appointees.
What were the other 9 senators doing? I’m assuming most were from the clown car that’s the Dem. presidential race.
It still astounds me that this is what we've come to.
Susan Collins is a worthless, turncoat POS. She sabotages almost everything the Dems want screwed up, and nearly betrayed Kavanaugh during the hearings.
She is like the snake Murkowski, never to be trusted with anything regarding political power. Might as well renamed her as Mrs. Benedict Arnold, the senator from Maine.
PM me when you finish it. I still remember the threads here that Graham threatened Collins on the last day for her final vote.
