They may be the only ones her bank account did not splash with cash. Hope some more missed her list or have at least some regard for education.

One could 'argue' that Sessions is at least knowledgeable about the position he has been nominated for. From the decade I have seen him on C-SPAN and in hearings, he is a hypocritical, vile and disgusting person, but that doesn't disqualify him for AG. DeVos doesn't seem to know shit about what she has been confirmed for. Plus she is a woman and they are always the first thrown under the bus. Certainly if they can intellectually oppose DeVos they should oppose Rick Perry and Ben Carson as incompetents too.

Pleasant surprise. I really thought Murkowski would vote yes if she got something in return for her vote.
