Twenty-four of the country’s 28 GOP governors are backing the Senate confirmation of White House nominee Amy Coney Barrett – with President Trump critics Govs. Charles Baker and Larry Hogan among those not in support.

Baker is the governor of Massachusetts, and Hogan is the governor of Maryland.

The two other GOP governors who did not sign the letter are Chris Sununu of New Hampshire and Phil Scott of Vermont.

and watch them more carefully now

Good example of depressing spin in the headline, could have been: “24 sign letter”

Oh I didn’t realize the Governors will be voting for Amy Cony Barret / sarc
—————
Yep. And apparently only 24 of the 50 approve. Do the governors need to approve by a simple majority of 2/3rds.

Four White Male Heterosexual Democrats who are no longer
welcome in their preferred party, and therefore are
parading as Republicans so that they can pursue
careers as politicians.

Don’t know why Sununu wouldn’t.

“If I was a Republican I might give a sh!t.”

Damn right! Which Bush/McCain scum still infesting the GOP I do not call myself a Republican either. The GOPe will never get my support when Trump is no longer in office in 2025 and they continue to be crypto-socialist frauds who say one thing and do another.

Souter? Wasn’t he the guy who judged things like the damage a loose hog did to a cornfield before being elevated to the Supreme Court? That Souter?

I’m not a Republican, but I tend to vote for them given the alternatives. In this case, I will leave Governor blank. Sununu has done nothing to earn my vote. Nothing.

I can remember READING when New England was referred to as “Rock-Ribbed Republican” and I went to High School in South Carolina when it was rightly referred to as the “Solid South” (Yellow Dog Democratic). How strange it is!
