The committee voted 11-11 along party lines in a tie vote Thursday, which means which means that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will have to take procedural steps to advance her nomination to the Senate floor.

Geez. Now Cornyn saying she wants to decriminalize all drugs. Perhaps long ago, but not now. People "evolve" senator.

1. Cornyn has a particular bug up his butt about her

because as TX AG Cornyn supported a corrupt cop who falsified evidence against a large number of Black people who were sent to prison on faked drug charges, and Gupta, who was with the ACLU at the time, got their convictions reversed and the cop's lies exposed, which embarrassed Cornyn.

2. I saw it

First, Cornyn said Gupta invested in a company that "had ties to the drug cartels" which was bullshit, now, he's on about drug decriminalization.

Misdirection. Make everyone look elsewhere.

Pathetic POS.

3. Y'all need to listen to Maddow on 3/24 about this.

Get a pillow, your jaw is gonna hurt from hitting the floor.

4. Rachel ripped Cornyn a new asshole, didn't she?
