Feel like I'm holding my breath today on deVos and the immigration litigation

With the dems fighting deVos all night and all the press against the immigration ban, it's going to be a really lousy day if either or both go badly.

I can't even imagine what will happen to education if this batshit moron is allowed to be ed sec.

And if the fRumpster gets his way, what other EO's will he attempt????

Getting really discouraged.....

the recons will keep the senate open indefinitely....guess he figures the Democrats will get tired and quit the filibuster..looks to me like the Democrats are speaking and sleeping on shifts...this filibuster could go on forever.

The Senate will tie 50:50 on DeVos and Pence will cast the tie-breaker while grinning his reptilian grin.

Common sense will prevail in the immigration litigation, and Trump will appeal to the SCOTUS, which will decline to hear the case so that they don't actually have to go on record saying that Trump is a dangerous lunatic.
