The tech sector communists in the Denver area will likely protest


Gorsuch needs all 4 remaining undecided senators (king, coons, menedez, and Cardin) to oppose filibuster to not require nuclear option

Cloture vote is now 56-40

They will allow a certain amount to not utterly destroy their campaigns for re-election.

At least a few on the left have a sliver of integrity remaining.

Decision Desk updated total is now 42 against. They have been spot on so far on all the votes.

Good for him for doing what's right and not using politics as payback for being butthurt.

How many total do we need now?

that's not integrity. That's angling for votes, which is the opposite of integrity.

Perhaps. In the end, he is making a decision that goes against the grain of his party, so I'll give him a little credit.

Which is a tacit admission the rest of these dimocratix are knowingly voting against the will of their constituents.
