I hate to be "that guy," but has anyone questioned Sessions about pot yet?

He didn't commit to reversing the Cole Memo, either, though.  This might ultimately wind up in Trump's court, and he's much more favorable to the state's rights position on this.

The question remains if Trump is willing to let Sessions devote so much public funds and political capital to raiding marijuana shops in the states that legalized it, including the deep red state of Alaska.  That wouldn't be a smart move on his part.

Some reason for optimism?

I just heard a rumor that Toomey is voting against DeVos.  If this is true and there aren't any Dem deflections, she's finished.

Nevermind.  A friend of mine just misread a tweet, apparently.

At least that's what I think I heard.  My reception is terrible here.

Toomey voted yes.

Bold Prediction - zero Republicans cross over to vote against Puzder, Puzder makes it through 52-48.

It really doesn't matter if there are crossovers now.  Today's vote shows that fifty Republicans are cowards who will happily vote in lockstep with their Fuhrer regardless of how unwise it is, and that's all that's needed.

See, this is why the country needs to split.  Let unqualified morons like DeVos control education in Alabama and Kentucky and Tennessee or whatever.  Don't force the states that didn't vote for this to have education rot in their states.

In other news, resident socialist Elizabeth Warren has been ordered to remain silent because she read a letter from Coretta Scott King that insulted Sen. Sessions.

She's not a socialist and you've learned nothing.

I didn't watch the violation and so cannot fairly say she is innocent. And she is a socialist.

Stop embarrassing yourself on this, please.  For your own sake.

^ Oh, yes, because it is a high crime to say that Warren is a socialist and to refuse to say she shouldn't have been silenced. Roll Eyes (To Clarify, I am NOT saying that the silencing was right or wrong. I am simply not taking a position on the enforcement of a rule that I am not familiar with the exact language of.)

Elizabeth Warren is not a socialist just because you don't like her.  You're one of the most thickheaded people here so I see why that's hard for you to comprehend, but maybe you should at least try to work on fixing your image here.

So I wonder if Gardner's resigned himself to the fact that he's more likely than not to lose in 2020.

So is Manchin the only Dem who voted Aye?

Yup.

I thought we'd see more deflections, actually.  Maybe McConnell's abuse of decorum pushed Heitkamp, Donnelly, etc. in the right direction.
