the dems will call for fairness to the 50 50 split and insist a repub sit out the voting... they have done it in the past i believe.

There’s a lot of talk that Kaine is the next indictment. Fingers crossed.

Schumer has 3 safe GOP votes for whoever “Biden” nominates, probably up to ten.

Skip the needless drama.

Why would Tim Kaine need to be replaced if he were indicted?

I imagine he would continue to serve from prison, if it came to that.

How many Republicans voted against Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

“Oh my God,” Durbin reportedly responded.

Yes indeed Dick. He certainly does move in mysterious ways.

Kudos to another Freeper who retrieved the article that Ben Lujan took the Jim Jones Jab.

“Until he is better, this kills any party line vote the dems want. They can no longer count on Harris to provide the winning vote.”

Given the go along to get along mentality of a number of GOP senators, the Dems may not need Lujan’s vote. They’ll need the likes of Murkowski, Collins, Graham, etc to put the Dems over the top.

Perhaps the Senator’s brush with death will cause him to have a better appreciation of life.

Maybe he will begin to see things on a different level.

One can hope and pray.

Only Republican SCOTUS nominees get a party-line vote, but only after first being dragged through the mud by the Dems/MSM and even a few RINOS.

Many on the GOP side will congratulate Biden on his “excellent choice”, and she’ll be quickly, and overwhelmingly, confirmed.

No it won’t. They’ll get about 15 Repukes.

Nonsense. At least four or five republicans, and probably many more, will vote for Biden’s nominee. The significance of this is as pertains to the plans to chop up BBB and pass various pieces of it. They’re not getting anything done until Lujan returns to Washington

If they test positive for covid, covid gets the blame. Like remdesikiller and vents, covid is the perfect cover.

I should have been clearer. You’re right, whatever black women that gets chosen will have the support of the 12 RINOs in the senate. I really meant the Senate overall effect.

No Dem Party Line votes will go through until he is healthy enough to travel and vote.

It really matters where the stroke hit, but if it was cerebral then there is no full recovery. The tissues downstream of the occlusion will literally die. They don’t come back to life. Surgery will cause more damage. They will do whatever they can to stand him back up because they need him. Liberals say they value life but they only value usefulness.

It’s a Dem governor in NM, so the quick alternative is Arkancide and a replacement Senator.
