I understand the vote will be this afternoon and will update this accordingly.
UPDATE
- It’s happening as I type this on CSPAN 2.
- Nomination confirmed: “ON THIS VOTE THE YEAS ARE 48, THE NAYS ARE 64 [sic] AND THE NOMINATION IS CONFIRMED. UNDER THE PREVIOUS ORDER, THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER IS CONSIDERED MADE AND LAID UPON THE TABLE AND THE PRESIDENT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED OF THE SENATE’S ACTION. THE CLERK WILL REPORT THE MOTION TO INVOKE CLOTURE.”
- Senate confirms Steve Dettelbach as Biden’s pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
- Collins and Portman were the @$$holes.
Now that this is out of the way on to amnesty.
