Finally showing a bit of spine, or has she finally realized thereās little real support for Kavanaugh?
The floodgates open! Kidding. Party lines folks, party lines.
Party above country, the unofficial motto of the modern GOP. Carpe per diem.
Thank you Senator!
I second the thanks! Manchin, you have NO reason not to vote no. Let them confirm him by two votes.
It appears only women have balls these days.
And donāt burst into tears every other minute about their private anguish! 
This is such a crap news day.
Thank goodness there is one piece of good news.
Now thatās some gonads!
Now, letās see if Manchin has any.
Iāve hoped sheād do this: itās seemed to me that a āyesā vote wouldnāt gain her any GOP votes and would lose her the center-left support (and volunteers) she needs if sheās to have a shot at surviving, and a ānoā vote might just energize some languishing Dem-leaners and apolitical women to come out for her, without losing folks who werenāt going to vote for her anyway. And she is a woman, and a Democrat, so Iād like to think itās a sincerely held position in any event. Thank you, Senator.
Making a donation to her campaign tonight because of this.
Good for you. What does it profit a (wo)man to gain the [North Dakota Senate seat] and lose her soul? This is honestly the closest Iāve been to happy all day.
This is one of the better statements Iāve read on this matter.
Manchin is probably a ānoā at this point. He doesnāt want to be known as the 50th or 51st vote. The GOP has to own this. This puts a lot of pressure on Collins/Murkowski. Theyāll have to fully own putting a lying rapist on the high court.
Personally, this day has felt almost exactly like 11/9/16; Iāve barely been able to read or watch the news. Glancing at the occasional headline here, but this is the first comment thread Iāve had the heart to hit.
Mine is already on its way via the series of tubes known as the internet.
Good let it be 1005 partisan with the fewest votes possible and when the truth comes out let the Rapepublican party eat itā¦
Send Heidi some dough if you can!

Her choice is to vote āNoā and have the Republicans label her as a traitor and try to tear her down, or vote āYesā and have the Republicans label her as a traitor and try to tear her down.
Good
Yep.
