I don’t care. Mitch, give Alaska or Maine whatever the Hell pork or infrastructure projects they want to get these two POS RINOs on board. If you gotta spend $1 trillion to study the mating habits of Sockeye Salmon, then do it.
49 > 47
Why is Pence required?
LOL! Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth would almost be too much to watch.
The House can prevent the Senate from going into recess.
We should roll up portable flag poles with SCOTUS underwear placed at half staff, and so not to be dishonorable, have the red “hammer and sickle” flown below the underwear.
Actually, no. Pence only gets to vote if there is a tie.
If there are two abstentions and two Rs vote with the Ds, it will be 49-47 and the nominee is confirmed without Pence.
Mitch going to war!
He knows he has the votes or he wouldn’t be putting it out there — IMHO.
With Bad Girl Ginsberg health Trump and Mitch had to be talking about
this some time ago. And developing their plan for this very moment.
I did the math wrong there.
Two abstentions and two Rs voting against makes it 49-49 and Pence casts the deciding vote for confirmation.
Not if she marches in lockstep. Trust me, she's going to come around. She has nothing to lose and the Left will never support her no matter what. If she votes no or demands that the vote be delayed, she will get slaughtered at the polls.
You must be joking.
2 GOP Senators who do not vote on this historic nomination?
One that will change the SC for generations.
Something conservatives has dreamed about for decades.
And you think 2 GOP Senators will not vote?
Can’t wait to see how that works out for them.
Can President Trump make a “recess appointment” to the Supreme Court if the Senate adjourns for the election?

President Eisenhower did. Probably someone already posted that response.
And Pence would make it 50-47, yes?

Pence votes only to break a tie!
I live near the Canadian border in Idaho. There is a small town southwest of me that has a grocery store with the Flag at half mast. A certain goober mint building nearby apparently didn’t get the word as it was flying beautifully at the top. It made my day. Buzzy wasn’t a Patriot, she was a political hack who ignored the Constitution and voted by her personal political preferences.
House also has to agree with the Senate going into recess. Nancy won’t let that happen.
“ Not if she marches in lockstep. Trust me, she’s going to come around.“
What does Collins really, really need? Money. And soon. Where does she get that money from?
The RNC.
