Sen. Steve Daines is planning on a possible return to Washington Saturday on a private plane owned by his fellow Montana Republican lawmaker Rep. Greg Gianforte to vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. Daines said Gianforte, a "good friend" and first-term congressman, has offered him use of his private plane if he needs to be back in Washington Saturday night to confirm Kavanaugh after attending his daughter's wedding. "My good friend and colleague, Greg Gianforte, has come to save the day," Daines said in a statement. "If I need to be in two places at once to walk my daughter down the aisle on her wedding day and to be the final vote to put Judge Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, he's offered me the use of his plane." "I appreciate his generosity as well as his dedication to family and country," Daines added. His spokeswoman added that the flight won't cost taxpayers a dime.

It ain't like Hillary's bunch hasn't taken out planes before. She's got more confirmed kills than the fricking Red Barron.

I'm more concerned that they will try to use this as some sort of in kind contribution/bogus ethics charge.

Agree. There needs to be major security at wherever that hangar is located.

Just get someone else to go on the floor and cast his vote.

We all know the Dems are against Voter ID and if a person is there “illegally “, you can’t ask him for documentation

Why in the hell would they have even made this public? These crazy bastards are ambushing people in offices and elevators for fricks sake.

Depending where the wedding is, it might not be accessible to air force one.

Dems have been insane, that said, the past 24 hours you guys have been verging on insane yourselves over this guy attending his daughter's wedding.

As a middle of the road person, it's a total turn off.

He's going to vote, calm the frick down.

Both sides are now:

One side has taken to storming elevators and offices and the other side is expressing concern over a man's safety.


How the frick can you equate those two as being the same?

Ok I lean right - but I still refuse to call myself a republican even if it's a far less dirty world than democrat.

I voted for Trump and still support him and unless hell freezes over or something of the sort I'll vote for him again.

Couldn't the Senate suspend the rules or something to allow the guy to give proxy or phone in the vote for a situation like this? I think this should be proposed just to see if some Dem a-hole would argue against it. He's not on the fence, so why not let the guy enjoy his kid's wedding??

Just put Daines and Trump together on a fricking plane. What's the worst that can happen, casual chat about grandkids? Or is that already used up?
