Question, can the Dems who voter "yea" in the Committee change their

[hector459]

2. So they CAN change their votes?

Letter writing time. :)

3. The vote is scheduled for tomorrow

according to what I read on Yahoo News.

She is still going to be confirmed, I still think it is a wasted fight.

4. There is no such thing as a wasted fight.

Certainly they can vote "no" re Rice, and still do other things for our benefit.

5. Yes and with no hypocrisy.

The committee vote is not for or against the nomination--the committee vote is to send the nomination to the full senate for an up or down vote. If a senator believes that a nominee deserves a floor vote but not to be confirmed, she should vote yes in committe and no for the confirmation.
