Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) said Friday that he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, giving President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department the last expected vote he needs to be approved by the full Senate.

Cassidy made the announcement on the Senate floor just hours after Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, another critical GOP vote, said she would oppose Blanche’s nomination. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced earlier this week that she would be voting no.

Why are any of these uniparty clowns against him in the first place? Is he really going to wreck shop like we thought Gaetz would?

I caught a small sound bite on the news. He said something like he has his reservations about the pick, then got choked up and said that he will listen to the will of the people of Louisiana and vote to confirm. If he would have done that over the last 6 years he might still have a job.

Him and 19 other Pubs voted to confirm Garland. I wonder if he shed any tears then.
