I hope he remembers this vote every time Kavanaugh is asked to recuse himself. Soon when you look up coward in the dictionary the definition will simply be an image of Manchin
I hope his office is flooded with coat hangers
Next time Dems run the Senate, this guy should get the job of emptying the trash cans for his level of commitment to the caucus

Keeping the world safe. For all those endangered Middle Aged White Males.
Kavanaugh won’t ever recuse himself. Thomas ruled on every Obamacare issue that came before the court, despite obvious conflicts of interest. Why would Kavanaugh be any different?
Like he gives a fuck.
I’ve always thought there should be committees created in both chambers for the feckless, disloyal members to be specifically assigned to. Janitorial or cafeteria oversight, something along those lines.
It’s not up to him. it’s up to Roberts.
Hmm, Never mind.
Is that true? Why isn’t that made clearer?
He probably doesn’t have a choice, if he wants to win in WVa he probably has to vote this way. I do think he would have voted against Kavanaugh if he could, he’s just trying to save the seat for Democrats. And, that’s really important…if he loses there is no way Democrats can get the Senate, so far he’s running a good campaign and this blunts an easy attack against him, in the most Trumpian state of them all.
To be fair, I read it here yesterday and believed it. It makes sense.
What is up with Manchin’s salt n’ pepper Donnie-do?
I think an individual justice recuses him or herself. Examples cited here describe it. Kagan, Marshall and Day O’Connor are some of them.
I would like to see any of his town halls from now on. It will never happen but I’d love to see the place filled to bursting and nobody applauds or says a word, they just stare at him stonily.
“Nobody? Nobody has any questions?”
I prefer shunning, myself.
She won’t do any town halls for at least a year.
You mean ‘he.’
Even better. “What? They STILL remember that?!!”
Here’s a question someone should ask Manchin, Flake and the rest of the boys:
If your wife or daughter was sexually assaulted, and she asked for an investigation, would you be satisfied with the product that was just delivered?
first…she wouldn’t ask for an investigation as she knows ‘daddy’ would tell her to not make trouble for the man/boy…
