Manchin can stop it if he wanted to.

The Senate is currently 49-48, with Fetterman and Feinstein out on the Democrat side, and McConnell out on the Republican side.

If Manchin joins the Republicans, they get operatational control at 49-48 R until either Fetterman or Feinstein returns.

He’s just wanting it both ways, as he always does.

I think you’re being a bit generous with Federman returning. Ever since his medical incident weeks ago, he has not been seen, as far as I can tell. It was supposed to be a couple weeks, but that seems like it was almost a month ago, and not a peep about him since.

“All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.”

And all the while so many Freepers believe we still have a Constitutional republic.

Manchin is running for reelection. He is still a sickening DEMONRAT.
