On a related note, now that senators seem to routinely announce how they are going to vote BEFORE the confirmation hearing, is there even a point in having one?

"Some thought" = absolutely no one?

And yet did anyone actually believe he would not vote this way? Seriously?

People seem to be reading my tweet to suggest that I thought that was a possibility ... which is not the case

Oh, I don't think you did. But I think we (I use we broadly here) go through this will-he-or-won't-he when he has a very clear pattern of behavior that should make it hard to take him seriously when he starts rumbling about stuff like this.

No one on earth expected Rand Paul to stand up to Trump. No one.

Who is “some?” All the pundits on Twitter I follow said this is the typical charade from Senator Paul, and expecting no other outcome.

Who exactly doubted this? GOP always falls in line, always. There's no maverick...McCain and Collins were the closest but they don't have that much stomach to buck their party. Compare that with someone like Manchin for example.

For everyone complaining how Rand Paul “isn’t standing up to Trump”: I see it as Rand Paul knows that delaying this nomination could possibly result in getting a nominee that he agrees with even less if Democrats take the Senate in Nov. He’s probably making the logical choice.

Was never in doubt. Rand Paul actually taking a courageous vote contrary to GOP orthodoxy...now that would be news.

"Each nominee however, must be judged on the totality of their views character and opinions." Or, as in the case of Judge Garland, not judged at all.

Literally no one was in doubt. Paul "The Libertarian" is a republican in everything but name.

No one who has ever followed paul for more than a month seriously thought his vote was ever in doubt.
