RATS didn't do this to Hussein. Very strange.
I’ll continue to point this out here AS LONG AS NECESSARY, which is until I stop hearing people here bitch about having only a RINO to vote for in the November elections...and then talking about not voting for the RINO, out of some demented ‘principle’.
The vote here was 53-46 for Collins to join the Ninth Circuit, a straight party line vote. That means the following -
1. EVERY Republican in the Senate voted FOR him. This includes ROMNEY, COLLINS, MURKOWSKI, and the many other Republican Trump haters. Without their votes, Collins would have been dead in the water.
2. EVERY Democrat in the Senate voted AGAINST him. This includes Doug Jones and Joe Manchin. So even the most conservative Democrats in the Senate still will not support Trump’s judges, regardless of what they may promise you before election time [I specifically remember people here telling us not to worry about Manchin, as he’s ‘one of us’. Well, he wasn’t on this vote, nor many other votes].
If Trump didn’t have his 53 Republicans in the Senate, he would be COMPLETELY NEUTERED as president, unable to do a damn thing in the White House. Millions of Republicans have held their noses in countless elections, but still voted for Senate RINOs when it counted, in November, and because of those people, we’re getting judges seated.
So, you people who still sit out elections in November, because the Republican on the ticket isn’t perfect, GROW UP, you’re not doing anyone here a favor with your ‘principled’ stance, you’re only enabling the Democrats - and you need to accept that FACT. If you don’t like the Republican candidate, deal with it in the Primary, and ONLY in the Primary...when November comes, remember the party-line vote here, and the many other party-line and near party-line votes.
Well said!

You guessed my guilty secret.
It really makes my day. That’s 4 district & a circuit so far this week and Federalist society members predominate!
Sounds PERFECT to me!
Attention democrats: WE want MORE of this, not less.
To crush the Senate Democrats, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of Mayor Pete Buttgiggity.
While seeing their women or quasi-significant others beat their breasts and screech wild lamentations. Good Times Good Times.
Almost every day of the Trump presidency is like Christmas.
It was a long desperate time in the Zero years but we are making up for it now.
