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.

My point was that the RATS recognize that their position is unprecedented and politically dangerous. There was speculation last week that they would allow no votes on any circuit court nominee. Sutton's confirmation demonstrates that they cannot hold their caucus together on a total nuclear strategy.
