The U.S. Senate just confirmed Jeffrey Sutton to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals 52-41. Tom Harkin was bitterly opposed to the nomination.

[ACAC]

A quality win.

[TheBigB]

Only 93 total votes? Who didn't vote?

[Howlin]

So did Dick Durbin.

The votes are there.

[So Cal Rocket]

Anyone have a link to the roll call vote?

[chuknospam]

Where does he stand on 2nd Amendment issues?

[Dog Gone]

Good news.

[goldstategop]

I guess the Dems got tired of battling every would-be conservative judge. Its time to front load the nomination process and challenge the Dems to filibuster every single one of the President's nominees.

[ACAC]

Roll call has not been posted yet.

[ACAC]

The other seven have not made it back to DC I guess.

[princess leah]

Yep, I'll bet Edwards, Kerry and Lieberman were out campaigning and Frist decided to move this candidate through while the foxes were away from the hen house!

[Coop]

The other seven have not made it back to DC I guess.

Hmmm. Let me guess. Would Lieberman, Edwards, Kerry and Graham be four of the seven?

[ACAC]

ACtually, a unanimous consent agreement was reached to vote on this candidate about 2 weeks ago.

[Grampa Dave]

Aren't about 7 Rat senators out campaigning to become El Presidente?

[Coop]

I bow to your quickness. :-)

[ACAC]

I heard Edwards vote no. Not sure about the others.

[AppyPappy]

Was anyone deeply saddened?

[TheBigB]

Ah, you're right. My bad. I'm so used to ignoring them. :)

[goldstategop]

Yup. I think Frist should schedule a vote on Estrada and Owen when the Democratic Senators running for President are conveniently out of town.

[Coop]

I heard Edwards vote no.

Curses! Foiled again.

[Redcloak]

No doubt, women and minorities were hardest hit.
