I will give him credit for that just like I did Cheney. They are not 'rumpers.

That said. That is all I give them credit for.

I mean, whatever tiny glimmer of a chance the Democrats have of getting to 60, required Mitt to vote in favor.

I can see peeling off around 5 repubs, but that's still MILES away from the 10 which are necessary. 20% of the repub Senators? I just don't see it.

Nobody can seem to tell me WHY.
at this point, what is it that they're trying to stand opposed TO, that we think that position might have some merit that we should argue with it?

We stand for facts and REALITY. What part of opposing THAT, is NEEDED?

Been any mention of a Select Committee the Speaker should have just done it after the 1st GOP balk at a Commission.

Justice matters.
