But you're certainly welcome to keep your hopes up that a repub will do the right thing. I would just refer you back to the meme in the OP.

On the other hand, you could hope that we somehow magically win 2/3rds of the senate so that we could then impeach Rapey McPerjury as some here have posited, but that seems as unlikely as a repub choosing to do the right thing.

To explain that it was a tough decision and she feels bad for women and wants them to know she stands with them blah blah blah. It's so predictable at this point. I'm surprised anyone is having doubts. She's merely trying to save face, or something.

She'll piss and moan about how HARD it was to go through all the evidence and she AGONIZED over her decision. And then she'll vote to confirm that disgusting pig.

Wouldn’t that give them the 50th vote? Unless she’s laying cover for Manchin and Murkowski. But I fully expect a tortured yes vote.

Good catch!
