She’s willing to vote for the non insane side when it’s doesn’t change the outcome of things, gotta keep appearances up.

“…plus indications that all 50 Democratic senators that make up the majority are on board with Jackson…”

Has Sinema publicly announced her stance on this nom?

She will never erase the stain of voting for Rapey McKegbreath, nor for that pathetic “tax reform” bill.

Give her some time to pick a ridiculously inappropriate outfit for the occasion.

Collins drives me crazy, but I have to admire her political savvy. Occasionally burnish your credentials by casting meaningless votes.

Admire her political savvy? That’s like saying one should admire cowards.

Well, I’m glad for Judge Jackson, because they can’t deny that she’s extremely qualified for the position, much more so than some now serving. Hopefully, there will be more repubs that vote to give her the respect, acknowlegment of her sterling qualifications and a seat on the Court.

She’s been without any particular coverage lately, so this likely satisfies her craving for attention. Especially after the feckless Manchin (for the umpteenth time) poured cold water on Biden’s rich guy tax hike the other day.

I just loathe these people. And the ones who keep voting for them.

Collins could be lying. All Republicans learned how to continuously lie from the American Oligarch Trump.
