To: deport
Sutton's confirmation means that several RATS in their caucus are getting very skittish about the filibuster strategy. They are playing with fire, and they know it.

Not sure but it appears only one crossed over to vote for Sutton with 7 Senators not voting. I was listening to the vote and some voted yea and then changed their vote at the end.....

It appears we can have at least three judge nominees being held up without a vote if things continue.... Estrada, Owen, and Pickering.

good point. Feinstein voted for him in committee, I wonder if she voted to actually confirm.

I agree. Notice on deport breakdown below that Nelson and Finestain voted yea. Also note the non-votes from current RAT pres wannabe's.
