Except - what if SCOTUS redefines limits of Congr'l committees because, gosh, the executive branch really has those functions? Or - I might reach a bit here - hundreds of thousands of people lose the right to vote because GOP (and ALEC) statutes are held 2 B const'l?https://twitter.com/Tristanshouts/status/1048280582394806272 …

Oh ffs, the final vote hasn't even been taken yet. Manchin was not the deciding vote this morning - Pence was, because had Manchin voted no, we know Pence would have broken the tie. And no matter what happens tomorrow, we need a body with a (D) after their name in that WV seat.
I hope the vote goes against BK. The seat on The Court & a 5-4 split will have huge impact for the future. The Court can nullify whatever "good" could come from one Senate seat. (And I'm in Indiana - ergh! "Pence"! EEwww!)
