“Sen. Steve Daines says he’ll return to Washington D.C. by private jet on his daughter’s wedding day if his vote is needed to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.”

Poor guy, what a place to be in but WHAT A PATRIOT!!!!

Somehow I can’t believe his family and his daughter wouldn’t support him. I would picture them as selfless patriots themselves.

If he has to do this, he and his family will be HEROES to a HUGE number of people.

Part of being a US Senator is putting the nation above an important but unnecessary family obligation. No reason they couldn't have the reception without him and put off the ceremony until he's available.

Sorry, but it's selfish, and it's endemic of everything that is wrong with the US Senate.
