Committee, but voted with republicans.

They happily went along with it

Murkowski and Collins could have killed the nomination in committee. They chose not to

And unfortunately even my parents thought they were brave until i set them straight but i think unless the dnc does thier job they will get away with it

Calling them courageous fighters, standing up for what's right, etc., etc.

I wish people who are going to spin in public might educate themselves just a bit first.

As long as the voters are seen as the rubes back home, we are living not in reality but a virtual or false reality where we are manipulated.


Is this a case where the Republican leadership says, OK Susan and Lisa we've the Republican votes for DeVos, so she can get confirmed without your votes. All you have to do is vote her out of committee and we give you permission to vote against her on the floor?

Then Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins go home respectively to Alaska and Maine and report that they voted against DeVos but she got confirmed without them.
