1. The "D" yes votes are making me a little sick.

[Walleye]

2. And two of the senators are from my state

Why would they vote yes to confirm a judge after the president had already lost the election? Especially after the way Mitch treated us

[Effete Snob]

6. Probably met Coons at a prayer meeting

https://ballotpedia.org/Aileen_Cannon

The American Bar Association rated Cannon qualified by a substantial majority and well qualified by a minority for the position.

From Wikipedia:

----
After graduating from Duke University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts, Cannon worked as a paralegal for the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division from 2003 to 2005. She then attended the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an articles editor for the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. She graduated in 2007 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude and Order of the Coif membership.

After law school, Cannon was a summer associate at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (now Gibson Dunn) in its Washington, D.C. office. From 2008 to 2009, she was a law clerk to judge Steven Colloton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. She then returned to Gibson Dunn from 2009 to 2012.

From 2013 until her judicial appointment in 2020, Cannon was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Cannon worked in the district's major crimes section from 2013 to 2015, then in its appellate section from 2015 to 2020.

Top schools, high honors, prestige firm, appellate clerk, DoJ prosecution and appellate litigation... Objectively, those are decent qualifications.

7. Yes. I like Chris Coons he's always been very nice to me. His policies are usually right

But I was skeptical about him at first because of religion. However I met his family and I’ve been in his house and they don’t seem like fanatics. Also he is a brilliant lawyer

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., The Family's most prominent Democrat, said earlier this year that the breakfast "has brought together religious, political and cultural leaders from all over the world." But many attendees are not leaders at all; they are fellow travelers and friends of The Family. Others springboard off the breakfast to build anti-LGBTQ, anti-democratic networks in their home countries.

Chris Coons Must Disassociate Himself From the National “Prayer” Breakfast
Filed in National by jason330 on December 14, 2018

In 1953, President Dwight Eisenhower began the tradition of the National Prayer Breakfast. Whatever benign purpose it was founded to serve, it has morphed into something far from benign.

It is now a nexus of anti-American criminal activity. A nexus of anti-American criminal activity that Senator Chris Coons Co-Chairs.

Well, it's good for you that you are not gay and Ugandan.

[Walleye]

12. I agree. I don't even like under God in the Pledge of Allegiance

I don’t know why he associates himself with this. I know church is a big part of his community activity. I don’t believe he is prejudiced or racist. When do we get a national Atheists breakfast?Why is it some religious people can’t seem to see that their religion has been hijacked by haters?

[CrispyQ]

4. I counted 12.

WTF? And Chris Murphy? Really?

[MichMan]

3. Looks pretty bipartisan

Wonder why so many couldn't be bothered to even cast a vote at all ?

[msfiddlestix]

5. I counted 10 Democrats (of the 56 votes) voting Yes, is my count correct?

My stomach aches, and I'm sick at heart to read the names that voted for, and those that didn't vote at all.

could have kept her off the bench.

But I suppose there would have been another Federalist appointee. .

And this is a perfect example why Identiy Politics should be avoided, shunned, dismissed, considered not relevant when it comes to appointments and political leadership. Just because she is a Woman is not good enough for me.

8. did those yes votes by dems learn any lesson from this

such as
stop confirming federalist society assholes
& trump appointed judges on his last days in office
(not that the last one would ever matter anymore)

[Effete Snob]

10. Certainly not Chris Coons of Delaware

He eagerly prostitutes himself to an imagined "bipartisan consensus".

[notinkansas]

11. 23 Senators not voting on a judicial nominee?

[Effete Snob]

13. There were 56 votes in favor

What difference would those 23 have made?

[MichMan]

15. Did they even show up for work that day?

Or just couldn't be bothered with actually casting a vote ?

[GreenWave]

14. God damn it. A double dose of dildoism from my state!
