Here's a newsflash - Supreme Court justices aren't elected, thus "approval rates" really don't apply to them. |
Don't blame me...I have never been in favor of him being on the SCOTUS. I also don't abide bullshit partisan politics and ignoring facts. |
It’s a majority of a valid quorum with Daines and Murkowski “paired” you abject moron above. Go back to grade school. |
| Got the votes. Get the oaths. |
I thought Bush v Gore did that. |
Whatever you want to say about it, 50 is NOT a majority of senators. |
They were hoping he'd be withdrawn, and their mission would be accomplished. Didn't happen that way. |
It was a majority of the voting senators. Murkowski voted present, as she “paired” her vote with the absent Daines, who was out of state walking his daughter down the aisle. Had Daines been on the floor, he would have been a yes. And Murkowski would have been a no. That is why the vote was 50-48 instead of 51-49. |
Math challenged? It WAS the majority of the vote taken in the confirmation today. Impressive? Hell no. But that doesn't change the mathematical certainty that 50 to 48 is a tad over 51%. Hence, a majority. |
She’s probably tired of the death threats and thinks fighting the system and the wealthy-powerful alliance never works. |
No. They just endorse the idea that people own their paychecks, not the government. |
They think the wealthy own everybody's paycheck. But, you seem to think you are one of the wealthy who get everything while the rest of us sell our kidneys to pay for our diabetes medicine. Bet you aren't, though. Bet you are just one of their stupid stooges who have exaggerated self estimate. |
1. He wasn’t ‘coached.’ So take that out of your talking points. 2. He was completely calm during 1,200 questions and 30 hours of testimony. 3. When he got (too) emotional at the hearing in which he was accused, he was not there to defend his name. |
We are in the top 10%, closer to 5%, and I will be giving my accountant my final estimates the first of December so they can figure my last quarterly payment. I have sent the same amount plus 5% as I paid last year over the first three quarters. I am very curious about what my tax total will be and compare it to last year. |
