Hope every Senate Democrat votes a resounding "no" on seating Barrett on the Supreme Court.

The American people must see the GOP force this woman on the American people for a very very long time.

RBG will be a footnote in history when Barrett starts voting with Thomas/Alito.

Makes. Me. Sick. At heart.

1. First vote is scheduled for Thursday

Senate panel schedules 1st Barrett vote Thursday

The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote to approve Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court — before her confirmation hearings have even ended.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham scheduled a committee vote for 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, the morning of the last day of hearings. Barrett’s nomination is expected to be brought up for a vote at that meeting and then delayed for a week, per committee rules.

If that happens as expected, the GOP-led committee would then vote to approve her nomination Thursday, Oct. 22. That would set up a final confirmation vote on the Senate floor the week of Oct. 26.

Republicans are moving quickly to confirm Barrett before the presidential election Nov. 3. Unless circumstances change, Republicans are expected to have the votes to approve the nomination in committee and for final confirmation on the floor.

2. These maneuvers alone are enough reason for Dems to vote NO! Question is, will they?

3. All but one will.

I think you can use the Kavanaugh vote as a guideline for how this will go. Manchin may vote yes but it won't matter either way.

On the Republican side Collins will be very concerned and then vote yes. Hopefully she will be out of a job come Jan. Murkowksi might actually vote no.

I predict 53-47 (or 52-48 is Manchin remembers which party he is in).

6. She won't be going anywhere in January even if we win. We can reduce her impact by

adding justices but that is all. We won't have enough votes for impeachment.

7. Sorry that was unclear. Fixed it.

Shouldn't have tried to be so clever. I mean hopefully Collins is out of a job in Jan. Yeah we are stuck with Handmaid for 30 to 40 years.

4. Are there any Dems that willing vote to confirm?

Bigger question yet, are there any Republicans willing to vote “no”?

[Ninga]

5. I am only guessing. But Sen Manchin D could be a yes.

[Statistical]

8. Manuchin might go yes. Merkowski might go no.

Everyone else will be by party.

If both of those go against their party then they offset each other and it is still 53-47.

Collins I think will be predictably "concerned" and then cave at the last minute to vote yes.

9. The only remedy for this is to increase the size of the court

They have packed the courts, now Democrats need to unpack them.
