Day 91.
I’m pretty disappointed with how the confirmation votes are going in the Senate. Senators are bowing to political pressure. DeVos was confirmed today by a tiebreaker vote. Tonight, Majority Leader McConnell successfully moved to forbid Elizabeth Warren from speaking on the Senate floor, because she read a letter by Coretta Scott King criticizing Jeff Sessions, and saying he is not fit for high federal office.
One thing giving me hope today is the work of the courts. A Ninth Circuit panel heard arguments on the Total Restraining Order on Trump’s Immigration Executive Order, which issued by the District Court on Friday.
I’m hopeful that in this, justice will prevail.
