"I'm going to be a strong supporter of her nomination," Hatch told the witnesses. "And I believe she's not only qualified, but exceptionally well qualified, and a very good person, to boot."

Two other committee Republicans, Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona, have indicated they'll support her nomination, which would give her the three GOP votes she needs to be approved by the committee and be sent to the full Senate for a final vote. The panel's Democrats back President Barack Obama's nominee.

As the saying goes, "Never count your Hatch before he chickens."

This isn't the first time Hatch has pulled something like this.

Every party does the same thing. Most nominations get approved. That’s the way it is.

But you have to admit, they provided a few halfway decent moments of "bread and circus" before "deciding" to do what they were already going to do.

The Chicago Mafia is just as adept as the Cinton Mafia at compiling items about politicians that make them blackmailable.

Traitors all. Not one of them listens to us. Not one of them represents us. Yet, we continue to vote for them because they have an (R) after their names. We are masochists. We know they will do things to hurt us, but we continue to shut our mouths, bend over and take our punishment.

No more.
