Can’t do that, all the guests would need to be flown in. Yeah, that might work. Think of the stories for their kids

Yah well you know what I wanted to be around for a lot of things my kids did throughout their childhood but I was in the Persian Gulf or the Med or the North Atlantic or on Law Enforcement Ops. I barely made it to my daughters birth and I was on shore duty recruiting. Duty calls Senator!

Weddings these days are often planned a year in advance. I've had a niece & now a nephew getting married - both venues had limited dates available, even a year out. Should she be getting married "at home", you've got entire wedding parties, caterers, music, guests, etc. to deal with even if you've planned only 3-6 months out. His daughter's wedding isn't "just now coming up" - this date has been 'out there' for months, if not a year. You can blame the Dems for their stinking delays.

Daines did say this:

Daines told The Associated Press Thursday in a statement that two things are going to happen this weekend: There's going to be a new Supreme Court justice and Daines is going to walk his daughter down the aisle.

That seems to indicate to me that he's got the vote thing worked out - they either don't need his vote or he'll be busy traveling on Saturday & I'm sure somebody has a private jet they'll let him use.

When I was in Korea in the 90’s our battalion commander’s daughter died in a car accident - he flew home and was back in command within a few days. Keep in mind it probably took him a couple of days flying to the States and back. He put his duty above his family and himself.

F this senator.

The kids can elope. That’ll save Dad lots of money, and likely save the country besides. Win-Win.

“U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R) says he cannot vote Saturday!”

That is not what he said.

Why is his daughter’s wedding just now coming up?

You don’t do a wedding on short notice today. The wedding has most certainly been set for months. Trump will fly the guy out to the wedding if he needs the guy’s vote.

I think of all the people away at wars through our history who couldn’t be home for important family matters. We are at war now in DC. Suck it up, Daines, and do your duty to your country.

The honorable thing to do would be for the Democrats to allow the vote tomorrow. It would only need unanimous consent. Unfortunately, honorable and Democrats can’t be used in the same sentence.

The money is mostly (or even entirely) spent.

This would be astonishing. This dedicated representative of the people swears to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution...except when it conflicts with his daughter’s wedding.
