1. I'm sure it was my call to him that made that happen..LOL..n/t

[dchill]

12. You say it, he does it.

[csziggy]

22. Or Mine - or the thousands of other calls he got

When I called yesterday his Tallahassee office person told me that Sen. Nelson had not released a public statement about how he was going to vote. My response was that Kavanaugh is not qualified to be a judge much less on the Supreme Court.

Now to make another call to Rubio's office...

ETA: Rubio's Tallahassee office is not answering the phone and his voice mailbox is full. His DC office number is busy. I wonder if he will pay any attention to the calls that do get through?

He is definitely the wrong person for the job.

10. Hurray!!!

He is one of my senators. I tried to call his office this AM but the box was full. I did email and also emailed Rubio. I was also able to leave an audio message.
On both of them I mentioned that message I saw that the Bar Association has called on the Senate to slow down and wait until the FBI investigates those 3 allegations.
Man, do I fee good about Sen. Nelson.

11. Well I should hope so. He's not even one of the conservative Democrats, is he?

If we can't count on at least our own party Senators, we need to revamp the party?

13. Sadly Flake

has Flaked.

Collins indicated yesterday that Flake Collins and Murkowski will vote in unison, along with Joe Manchin.

So... that's the ball game.

Begin impeachment in January.

I hate that this has to be my first post to DU. Don't think of me a concern troll... just a shitty day to join.

15. Impeaching him is the easy part,

it's the Senate that you run into trouble, it takes 67 votes to convict and remove and that just ain't going to happen.

Welcome to DU.

14. Good, but should just be a given for every Democrat.

[Perseus]

16. There should be no question how every Democrat will vote

Why would a Democrat vote "yes" on Kavanaugh? The announcement of such vote, unless it serves some purpose is mute, I could be wrong, there may be a message Nelson is sending someone out there, but in my view, this Kavanaugh mad man should never be confirmed, he showed yesterday that he is another Sean Hannity, but with a law degree.

Republicans senators have shown they are trash, the display they showed yesterday can only come from non-principled people whose understanding of patriotism has been confused with the concept of treason. It is amazing what is happening in this country, and I fear that even people like Flake who understand very well that trump is unfit for office, someone who has given great speeches against the man-child, is only going to do what he always does, throw his principles and beliefs in the toilet and vote yes to confirm this mad-man.

17. Any courage from Manchin?

[sandensea]

20. Maybe with a shot of Epipen.

[Racerdog1]

18. Thank you for standing up.

Senator Nelson has more courage in his little finger than Rubio could ever hope to have.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. Of course he should vote no.

As should every single Democrat. It's a couple of Republicans who need to vote no that matter.

ANY Democrat who votes to confirm him needs to be primaried in his or her next election and voted out of office.
