She’s thrown a couple of curve balls. Remember some of her caucus threatening her to “watch your ass” for applauding during parts of the SotU?
And Kavanaugh seems like he might be a John Roberts type. There is no predicting people.
I was just wondering about her the other day. She’s been very quiet!
Looks like she’s a McCain. But against the Left this time. lol.
She’s trying to get reelected by being ordinary (I know, I know, I’ve seen her outfits) compared to the nutjob Dems in the House.
It’s just refreshing to see that any Dem would consider the qualifications of a nominee, as Senators are supposed to do, rather than blindly toe the line.
I sincerely doubt that she knows Shinola from that other thing. She voted in favor because she either owes a favor or she’s extracting a favor. That’s how the D’s and RINOs roll.
Once upon a time, when Republicans walked the earth, the opposition party didn’t just automatically vote against judical appointments, but reserved “no” votes for nominees they actually considered unqualified.
She’s way left of center but possibly an independent thinker none the less.
Na, I think AA has hit the mark!
I’d hit it….over and over and over……
Sinema got a lot of press with her outrageous wardrobe and absurd statements but I have not heard anything about her lately. Maybe she voted “Yes” to let her constituents know she was still alive?
Anyone notice the rino senator from that district didn’t vote yes or no on the judge’s nomination? Now THAT’S representation… isn’t it?
Gee Wally, maybe it’s true what Miss Landers said. That Kyrsten Sinema isn’t as left wing as all those dumb, alt right, white supremacists say she is.
Gosh Beeve, she only voted that way because it didn’t matter. Because Bell and Nichols were gonna get confirmed no matter what. Then, see, the media plays it up like she’s a real moderate and she gets re-elected. Then she’ll show her true colors
And she’ll get away with it cause saps like you never learn. Now, shut up and go to sleep before I slug you one.
