Something weird is happening — lots of chatter among Democrats after Coons and Klobuchar returned from their talk with Flake



Update:

Lots of chatter on Dem side initiated by Coons and now with Feinstein staff director. Now Feinstein heads to anteroom, with Coons.




Update 2:

Whitehouse says "Given what’s happening in the ante room" the vote should be delayed. But does not give details - Seung Min Kim

having said that I hope you are right.

I cant help but think of what newt the prick gingrich said, if they dont get him on the court now they will NEVER get someone like him on there
