states sentencing commission. it s tough to make a principled case that you shouldn t vote for this judge based on her credentials the issue is whether some of the republican senators will find their way there as well. how about democratic? once it does judge jackson have enough support people like joe judge jackson kyrsten sinema, could be a surprise every now and then. jeff? look, even though sinema and manchin have really bedeviled so much of joe biden s domestic agenda, when it comes to judges they have voted in support of all of his judicial nominees so far. so it looks like democrats do have the 50 votes they need, and to joyce s great point as to whether or not there will be republicans who come on board our team spoke with senators collins and romney today, and neither of them were in anyway moved by the lines of attack that we heard today from senators cruz, hawley, and later you can add blackburn. the conservative national

I thought I had seen the limits of disrespect from certain Republican senators in other hearings, but the blatantly disrespectful and irrelevant lines of inquiry by Senators Cruz, Hawley, Cotton and Graham, were beyond belief.They turned what is.
