after the DeVos confirmation because Sessions' vote as a Senator is needed to get DeVos through.
I'm most hopeful of the DeVos confirmation failing, as only one more Republican defection is needed and there is huge pressure on all US Senators to defeat DeVos.

Sessions' defeat would be great, but I'm not holding my breath over it at this time.
