Tread lightly on this one if Tim Scott is undecided.

“a newly unearthed Justice Department memo that said Farr was involved decades ago in the sending of 120,000 postcards to mostly minority voters that appeared to discourage them from turning out at the polls.”

Rising to the level of black panthers intimidating white voters with clubs at polling places, for which the Department of InJustice did nothing?

With Murkowski, Collins, Sasse, and Romney? Unlikely.

Being black Tim Scott could have some political problems back home if he votes for this guy.

I don’t know any of the details though. “Voter Suppression” generally means anything that does not enhance the electoral prospects of Democrats.

The GOP goes for voter suppression. The Democrats go for ballot stuffing. Their way seems to be working better.

Why doesn't Scott have the courage to stand up to the FALSE ALLEGATIONS!!??

Helms had nothing to do with the distribution of the flyers!!!

Being the lawyer who defended his innocence is NOT disqualifying!!!!

Helms was a great man. He beat the assholes again and again. Anyone connected to him must pay. The rest is all shit.

Lisa McKowshitz is enjoying her last days of relevancy.

I said after Kavanaugh that Flake should be replaced immediately on the committee.

Amazing how the demodummies, who had “Klu Klux Klan” Byrd as their “God”, overlook what his history has to say.

Deciding vote for cloture. Still has to pass a straight senate up-or-down vote.

I’m baffled by Scott’s indecision. Extortion? Blackmail? Pay-off?

Senators have the unique advantage of 6 years of voter amnesia, especially at the start of their term.
