A watchdog group filed a Senate ethics complaint Monday against Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren for sending out fundraising emails asking for donations to support their votes against Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh — even before they cast their votes against him.
While voting and then asking supporters to back that decision with cash is common, the watchdog group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), says asking for money ahead of time crosses the line into vote-buying.

I can’t stand either of them, but it’s not as if their votes were ever in doubt — their fundraising did not amount to their selling their votes.

The campaign financing laws — like many other laws — are only enforced against Republicans.

Rules and laws are for Republicans. The Left lives for catching them in some infraction because they can call them “hypocrites.” Democrats aren’t accused of hypocrisy because they don’t claim to have morals.

“... asking for money ahead of time crosses the line into vote-buying.”
I agree with you. Can’t stand either, but there was never any doubt of vote-buying going on here. Their votes were pre-cast before his name even came up.
To: jazusamo
I guess because of the timing they were, in essence, selling their vote. Pretty funny.

Accused"Accused" doesn't mean anything "Convicted" would be OK.

I saw this headline and for some reason read it as: Estella Warren.
Wishful thinking I guess.

Still time left on the clock. We’ll see.

Their votes were pre-cast before his name even came up. I agree.
But this almost vote extortion.
Send me money or I might vote the other way or not vote at all.

This was my thought as well. But I am not sure that clears them of legal jeopardy. Depends on legal details.

Hmmm isn’t that called bribery???
