2. Did Romney vote for her?

4. Nope, it was Murkowski.

11. Good on her; bad on him and the rest of the GQP. Nt

3. I'm confused, does this mean "confirmed" or does it mean another voting process in queue?

5. I think this was the vote to proceed to the vote.

7. Thank you, I haven't been keeping up- personal stuff going on

But I *think* I heard mentioned by a pundit this morning that McConnell is going to block these confirmations to DOJ and I believe I read that Tom Cotton intended to block any nominations to the DOJ from Democratic States.

I don't have Cspan and there's rarely a clip of discussions on the Senate floor, so I'm totally in the dark regarding how Schumer is going to be able to get around these obstacles. Do you know what the current strategy is by any chance?

8. That vote to proceed is the last step before the final vote

That vote can't be blocked at this point.

9. That's a relief, I've been worried about it for weeks.

Thank you!

6. :) Sen. Murphy on rushing back for the vote.

Manchin, of course, was voting for in case anyone's wondering, like me, just what was being shouted. Still wondering.

10. I take it this is a joke, right? regarding hollering at Manchin.
