Wrong - The Republican Party of Wyoming would nominate three individuals, and the governor would have to choose one of them.

Replacement statutes vary by state..

I cannot recall if they have done that or not, but that is what the MSM, the haidmaidens of the DNC, would suggest. My point is that suggesting it just plays into their hands and into the GOP stereotype of being outwitted. Its politics and I am tired of playing by the Queensbury Rules while the other side is street fighting.

One vote isn't going to make a difference for a controversial nominee. In fact, a one vote majority in the senate doesn't mean much beyond the power to subpoena and harass executive branch employees.

And what is the lowest possible ACU score for someone to be considered a, as you put it, "friend of decent, civilized Americans?"

Interestingly, a spiritual transformation will have a greater impact than simply political debate, on an issue like this. That was the case for me. I was an ardent pro-abort, until I came to Christ. I think we need to apply our faith-informed convictions in the political realm, but ultimately, it's prayer more than activism that will change this country.

My in laws are in South Dakota. The governor is a Republican.

Hope Mr. Johnson recovers. He is actually a fairly conservative Dem.

Wouldn't it switch committee rolls to people actually get an up or down vote?

My husband suffered a stroke to the brainstem. He was in the hospital for three days and returned back to work. He was on a plane a few weeks later on a business trip. You would never know that he had one if you weren't told.

Boy, something like this makes it weird...

You don't want to wish anyone ill, but, this is truly an odd situation.

Well, I do remember X-treme Democrat black "journalist" Julianne Malveaux, wishing cancer on a healthy Clarence Thomas years ago, and that was long before the organized insanity of the DU, Air AMerica,Soros-influenced, Daily Kos restructuring of the Idiot Left in America.......

"Control" though remained in Dasshole hands - through the media and the refusal of the repubbie's to actually USE their power. you're right technically.

but they "shared" cjhairmanships, faltered on SC votes and judges for lower courts, and encouraged the surrender politics that empowered the "gang of 14" (RINO + demo's) into gaining power by THREATENING a filibuster - ---

And by caving to pressure to threaten filibusters, they (the repubbies) gave up power.

I dunno.... 80? Look at it like school grading if it helps you. 90+ is an 'A', 80 - 90 is a 'B', etc. That way, you can figure out what 11 - 13 means. Good luck.

There are many people who survive the big one...but it is the big one that can kill. Your husband was blessed. I bet he knows it too.

Every morning I look in the mirror and ask what I have done that God has blessed me so! I am very grateful for all that I have been given! Many people don't survive a stroke and I don't know what I would have done without him! God certainly was there to take care of us that day!

As much as I detest these rodents, I'd prefer to see them resign or get defeated at the ballot box than have a nasty health scare. Prayers for Sen. Johnson's health.

It would show a great deal of bipartisanship if he would appoint a democrat and not tip the balance of power as a result of a horrible tragedy.

*BONG - reality check*....when have the 'Rats, ever "practiced" bipartisanship, in the 70 years? Well? ....just asking.
