Sasse is a microcosm of the rumblings popping out of Senate Republicans for days. Lots of them voted to verify Pass judgement on Jackson previously. They may be able to’t bring to mind a excellent reason why to not vote for her for the Best Court docket, so that they both make up a faux reason why like she is comfortable on kid predators or they do what Sasse did and say one thing obscure like “judicial philosophy,” shrug, and vote no.
Republicans are living in a global the place they, like Sasse, faux to be disappointed by means of both what Brett Kavanaugh is accused of doing or the best way he was once “handled” at his affirmation listening to, however it doesn’t matter what the phrases say, the vote is identical.
Sasse is a graduate of the Susan Collins Faculty For Wayward Boys And Pretend Moderates.
Sen. Sasse will make statements that sound reasonable, however like Collins, he’s going to vote immediately down the road with the remainder of his birthday party.
No person will have to be suckered by means of Sasse as a result of his movements indisputably discuss louder than his phrases.
