I can't stand it anymore! When does the voting begin to approve Ketanji Jackson Brown!

I think she's won over some Repubs to her side. Delaying any longer will just allow the hard right to apply pressure to change their vote.

1. After the GQP quits crying!

2. I don't think Manchin has announced the result yet......

It will be his to decide. Might as well just do a role call of one.

7. I believe some Republicans will vote to confirm.

I don’t think it will come down to Manchin.

10. Unless one of those are on the judiciary committee.....

And is willing to show up for a vote, it very well could come down to Manchin.

The jc is evenly split, but requires 1/2+1 members to be present to make a quorum and take a vote.

If she doesn't make it out of committee, the full senate would need to vote to hold a confirmation vote.

At that point, we need all 50 dems to vote for the confirmation vote. If even one dem fails to support it, no vote could be held until the jc votes.

Manchin has repeatedly refused to do that. For reasons.

It is a very real risk.

3. Well, first, the committee has to approve her.

Then, it will go to a floor vote in the Senate, where there will be many speeches and absurdities spoken by Republicans who are not on the committee before the entire Senate votes. It's not a speedy process.

9. I believe the senate could still vote without a committee rec....

The committee is only making a recommendation. If they fail to vote, the senate could vote to hold a vote before the full senate anyway.

Note that the gop can stop a jc vote by simply not showing up. They need a quorum which is half plus one. Since the committee is divided evenly, the qop can deny a quorum by staying home that day. Or any day really, since the vote needs to be scheduled well in advance.

4. Apr. 4th

The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination on April 4.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the chairman of the committee, announced as he was wrapping up the second day of questions that Jackson’s nomination will be on the committee’s agenda for the first time on Monday.

But under the committee’s rules, any senator can request that a nomination be held over for a week. Jackson’s nomination, like most that come before the panel, is expected to be delayed by a week.

That would make the committee’s actual vote on April 4.

5. Very few Republicans will mention her Values

Or morals.

They will tear her down as if she was some worthless piece of material to be discarded once passing her USE BY date. They will portray her as being LESS THAN HUMAN.

God and His son, Jesus, will be listening and taking note. They know what is in the hearts of these Republicans.

6. I have the good sense to skip all of the hearings.

I knew the republicans will make this unbearable to watch. It's their revenge for what we did to their nominees (even though our reasons were solid while theirs are BS).

8. I'm with you on that....

The clips that get shown in the news are almost more than I can bear.

My new name for Republicans: Repulsives.

11. You've created a new brain-worm.

Reprehensible irreversibly-repulsive retrograde Republicans.....

KY......

PS: I'm sure our wordsmiths could add many more but there is one "re-" word we do not use on DU.
