GOP senator may miss Kavanaugh vote for daughter's wedding

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A GOP senator may miss a Senate confirmation vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh this weekend because his daughter is getting married on Saturday.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) will walk his daughter down the aisle for her wedding regardless of the timing of the vote, a Daines spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.

Senate Republican leaders plan to hold a key procedural vote Friday morning, setting up a potential confirmation vote for Saturday afternoon.

It is unclear if Daines’ trip will impact the timing of the vote.

5. Mitch promised a vote Saturday. Didn't he check with everyone before making his plan?

Is this just a convenient excuse to give more time for twisting arms?

7. Seemed half of DU posted articles that a vote was supposed to happen today

or even this past Tuesday.

This whole thing is complete disgrace and a total collapse of the "honor system" that this country has operated on (more or less) for 231 years.

6. Coulter: If we're going to allow Montana to have senators, they have to promise to vote.

8. Good. He can stay in Montana for two weeks.

The good people of Montana would like to detain him, so they can advise and consent on this idiot.

9. Well, it might snow too

so he might have trouble getting back right away. Mother Nature still rules the day out here. If he messes up MM's plan, it would be his only redeeming factor.
