@FedcourtJunkie@rickhasen Sure, but how the hell did this get on the floor for a vote w/o the whip locked down? Reid+WH are exactly the Q's -

@bmaz@FedcourtJunkie NYT now reports things changed at last minute with whip count, according to WH http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/06/us/politics/senate-rejects-obama-nominee-linked-to-abu-jamal-case.html?ref=politics&_r=0 …#Adegbile -

@bmaz@FedcourtJunkie nyt reports that Sen. Reid warned of vote failure but WH pressed ahead anyway http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/06/us/politics/senate-rejects-obama-nominee-linked-to-abu-jamal-case.html?ref=politics&_r=0 … cc: @jonraslton -
@rickhasen@FedcourtJunkie So, what was the WH's deal? Thought magic would make it all okay, or what?? Jeebus. -
.
@bmaz@FedcourtJunkie I think WH thought they'd pressure some Ds to cave to avoid this kind of embarrassment. Bad calculus. -
@rickhasen@FedcourtJunkie Yes, that's pretty lame calculus. Math is hard I guess.
