WHY ARE REPUBLICANS RUNNING THE CONFIRMATION HEARINGS TODAY?????

[George II]

[servermsh]

1. Our Dem Senators aren't seated yet and Harris isn't VP yet.

Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Because they still have the majority. Ossof and Warnock will be sworn in tomorrow.

11. Has the governor certified?

3. They are still in power until tomorrow at noon.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Because we're not in the majority quite yet...

I'm actually surprised they're doing it, given McConnell's normal attitude.

[Jirel]

5. Because they're the majority.

Soon they won’t be. Then they won’t be running confirmations.

6. Because they run the Senate

7. Because Cal Cunningham listened to his wrong head, and many other factors

that form a collective butterfly effect keeping us in the minority until everything goes through with GA and CA new Senators and VP swearing ins.

8. Has Georgia's Secretary of State certified the election results?

I suspect not, or the two newly elected Democrats would have been sworn in by now.

He has until January 22, two days after Biden is sworn in, and I wouldn't be surprised if he waits until then to do so.

9. Because it's

Backwards day ?

10. Because it's Tuesday.....

Under the new rules of the 50/50 senate, the gop gets control on all Tuesdays before 1/20/21.

That's how the new math werks.

[George II]

12. What's pissing me off is that Rob Portman is already dumping on Mayorkas about....

...."corruption" and scandal in his past.

Has he been sleeping the last four years? What about this "unity" they've been talking about since the riot of January 6?

[MineralMan]

13. Because they still have a majority in the Senate?

[a kennedy]

14. I know, pisses me off to see that ugly ass mug of the old goat from Iowa, Grassley. 🤢 🤢 🤢
