How many Repuke votes will Merrick Garland receive?

[11 Bravo]

Will the fact that he is so manifestly fair, decent, and highly qualified matter at all?

(If it's less than half, I hope President Biden tells them to take their warped version of "bipartisanship" and shove it straight up their saggy asses.)

1. Honestly

If McConnell spitefully requests that they all vote No - they will.

2. the old saying "hoping for the best, but expecting the worst"

[Harker]

3. 5 or fewer.

4. Is Grassley a yes?

Seems like it from his comments today. If that holds up Garland should get 12-15 R’s easy.

5. Of course, Grassley was also the one...

...who initially was saying that he would oppose his party's efforts to fill a SCOTUS vacancy during a presidential election -- then quickly fell in line when they actually did it.

I suspect we'll see zero Republican votes for confirmation -- in fact, if we get any, I'm going to take it as a sign that McConnell and Co. have decided that the best way to solve "the Trump problem" is to let a Democratic DoJ go after him. Of course, should that happen, they'll be loudly decrying the "partisan witch-hunt" even as they ("mainstream" Republicans) reap the benefits from it.

9. Nah...They're being selective with appts...mostly let the white guy moderate be this time

and train their fire on women of color, Tanden and Haaland as the base chants hooray. With the help of Manchin they might actually succeed. Opposing Garland for AG is a waste of political capital.

6. How many know they're not linked to Individual One's criminal activities?

This vote might be a tell

[lastlib]

7. If he gets fewer than forty, I will say---

throw the "bipartisanship" bullshit onto the trash heap and burn it. They OWE this man BIG-TIME for the way they treated him on the SCOTUS nomination!! If they don't oblige (and I will be surprised if more than two of them fall in), then I would say burn the basturds to fine ash and scatter it at sea.

8. The sea is already polluted enough.

How about toss them in a Port-a-Potty that hasn't been emptied for six months?

[FarPoint]

10. When is the vote?

Has a date been set?

[11 Bravo]

11. Dick Durbin said the Judiciary Committee will vote on March 1, and ...

that the full Senate will vote later that week (after a couple of days of debate).

12. Thank you....

I'm working a lot, community health RN focus....so I struggle to keep up...DU helps me stay current....
