Woohah! Dingy Harry lost a cloture vote in the Senate. The Craig Becker nomination is
finis! And that 41st vote, represented by Scott Brown, made all the difference today!

What are chances Barry will do a recess appointment of Becker on Monday (President’s Day)? That is my fear. Well one of my many fears.

Gee, apparently Scott Brown being the 41st vote emboldens Dem senators to oppose Obamaniacs.

Sen. Ben Nelson (D., Neb.), Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.), and Sen. Scott Brown (R., Mass.) all voted against cloture.
These weasels are already attempting a mid-course correction before the November elections.

Obama can do a recess appointment. The GOP can't really stop him if he wants Becker in at the NLRB anyway.

Yep. They can see the political handwriting on the wall. Dingy Harry is going to have his hands full keeping Democratic Senators from bailing out on him.
Heh

Looks like Blanche and Ben are pretending to be conservatives. Will it fool the voters?
To: freeangel
For sure, Nelson and Lincoln trying to save their posteriors.

Elections have consequences. The Democrats no longer run the Senate single-handedly. That's a sea change already in America.

They have a quorum. In just under a week, Washington has been transformed.
