PA's Toomey - we're not gonna' miss him!

[MyOwnPeace]

What a horse's A$$!!

Of course, to no one's surprise, he is not going to vote for KBJ for the Supreme Court.

Here's part of his statement:

“Due to Judge Jackson’s admitted lack of judicial philosophy, her concerning judicial record, and the likelihood she will continue to reach beyond the limited role of the judiciary, I cannot support her appointment to the Court.”

So, because she doesn't say "I LIKE BEER," or try to sign up people for her Sunday School Class, or have the backing of the Federalist Society, he can't 'support' her.

Guess he didn't get the OK from his banker buddies on Wall Street.

SO many of those RepubliQan senators that I'm really hating - but I've got to keep a special spot for my own "home-state boy!"

1. Just about verbatim what Senator Burr said. They aren't even trying anymore

That statement sounds like it was written by McConnell’s staff

2. Somebody please turn off Pat Toomey's microphone

3. He may have been getting anonymous death threats from wing nuts accusing him of being soft.

I sent emails to Toomey twice. The first time was to urge him to vote "No" re Cavanaugh, and the second time was to urge him to vote to convict Trump re Ukraine. I received an email reply each time. Maybe Toomey could not stand the RW pressure any longer and decided not to seek re-election. At least, he salvaged some measure of respect by voting to convict Trump in the impeachment trial regarding the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

7. knowing PA, its probably a lot of pressure from scary people

PA has a very large population of hard right zealots, and the Pubs have been pretty capable at keeping them engaged.

4. Remember Toomey was originally installed in the senate by

Michael Bloomberg who flooded the election with an obscene amount of $ for an upset victory, back when Bloomberg was calling himself a Republican. Next time Bloomberg runs in a Democratic primary remember the lasting damage of a Republican seat in a swing/Democratic-leaning state. It could have made all the difference.

5. "... lack of judicial philosophy"?

Bwahahahaha!!! What a crock. What the hell does that even mean? As spineless as Ben Sasse.

Toomey’s been a Reich-wing toadying ball-washer for YEARS. Just go away.

6. One of big businesses' favorites for sure

Can’t wait to get hopefully Fetterman (but also Lamb) into that spot!
