Two noes, two abstentions, and Pence.
Theatre.
After a fraudulent impeachment, revenge is a dish best served COLD. Ice cold in fact.
Pray and move forward in haste.
Collins will have to vote for any good nominee or her political career is ended. She knows it. So while she’d prefer not having to vote at all, she will do it. Murkowski could well vote no just because she’s a mental case but that too would terminate her career And I think she doesn’t want to bomb out just yet.
This is the defining moment of McConnell's career and he know it.
Yup, withhold all funding and endorsements.
Make them seethe.
“Supreme Court honors Ginsburg with black crepe...”
So Anti-fa like. How nice. Red crepe? The Ruth Baader- Meinhoff Ginsberg Gang would’ve liked it.

R.I.H. Ruthless
Can President Trump make a “recess appointment” to the Supreme Court if the Senate adjourns for the election?
Roy Blunt is also a YES
“Two noes, two abstentions”
49-47.
And THIS, ladies and gents, is where we’re going to see McConnell’s value to our cause. This is where he shines the most.
You're correct. For all his flaws, this type of thing is one area in which he has a high degree of skill.
I don't think it's too melodramatic to say that McConnell will emerge either revered as a hero, or hated as a failure.
And Pence would make it 50-47, yes?
Do your thing Mitch!
This is the defining moment of McConnell’s career and he know it.
= = = = =
Amen.
Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Your guessing four abstentions? I hope you are right. Keep Pence out of it.
I should note that I think that the two noes will be on procedural grounds, and expect that they will shift to abstentions for the vote, and that the procedural abstentions may (or may not) vote yes on the actual vote.
Mitch has been good with the judges and did a very good job during the impeachment. He nails this and he deserves a tiny bit of respect.
Lindsey Graham will never deserve respect.
No one should be rewarded for being a Republican senator and backing Trump.
That’s what they are supposed to do.
but my condo rounding up the needed numbers in this day and age is something that deserves praise
“Your guessing four abstentions? “
My bad!
Good.
