Why vote yes on cloture then? She’s absurd.
-
Cloture is technically a vote to end debate. Her opinion could in theory be that she believes she has all the information she needs to cast the final binding vote. (In theory this could go on indefinitely until cloture passes ending debate AKA a true filibuster)
-
But if she voted no on cloture wouldn't that bring it to a close sooner?
-
In practice probably. But McConnell et al could go around twisiting arms and keep this going. And there is theoretical merit in a final up-down vote on a nominee. (You know, that thing Garland never got?) But we are in McConnell's world and theoretical merit is not a thing.

No one will care that
@JeffFlake and@SenatorCollins "struggled" with their conscience. They will be judged on how they vote. -
Why is no one criticizing Joe Manchin, the ONLY DEMOCRAT to vote “yes” today?

Way to stay relevant
@SenatorCollins Now, do the right thing. Vote no on this polarizing nominee. We deserve better. Highest court in the land. Lifetime appointment. -
Like RBG? Ginsburg wrote Sex Bias in the U.S Code Further, she declared the Mann Act as offensive & should be repealed. The Mann Act is a law which punishes persons who engage in interstate sex traffic of women& girls (98). No outrage at her views & sitting on Supreme Court?
