How Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation vote is expected to unfold this week
From CNN's Ted Barrett and Ali Zaslav
The 22 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are delivering speeches now about their positions on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination before voting.
Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, said committee members would have 10 minutes for their statements.
An 11-11 tie is expected in the panel today since no Republican members of the committee appear poised to vote for her. To advance the deadlocked nomination to the floor, the Senate will need to vote on a motion to discharge her from committee, which they are expected to do also on Monday.
Four hours of debate are allotted for this motion. Senators have been advised that a vote to discharge wont take place before 5:30 p.m. ET, but depending on how long the committee action takes, it could be later.
What happens next: On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to file a procedural motion to break a Republican filibuster of Jackson.
Wednesday will be the required intervening day on that motion when floor speeches on her nomination are likely.

that this is taking so long.
It's frustrating. It's infuriating.

we can beat the drum for a Thomas resignation.

(6,148 posts)4. I'm definitely down for that.
I am a bit conflicted. I would be tearing down someone of my own race. I detest the man, but its still hard. But he has crossed a line, and I am letting go of my loyalty and giving in to my disgust.
