Live Stream - Senate debate on Jeff Sessions as Attorney General

Why is Senator Cory Booker being treated like a hero by the MSM for speaking badly of Jeff Sessions last month?

A double standard by the ctrl-left?

Also Warren ran to CNN to whine about what happened on the Senate floor.

It's more like Republicans being afraid to confront wrong-doing if the perpetrator is Black.

He just said, "you're more likely to be struck by lightning that to be convicted of voter fraud."
verbatim

Just out of curiosity, did he really say "more likely... that", or did he say "more likely... THAN" (which would have been correct)?
I am very puzzled about the current habit of replacing "than" by "that" in these constructions, and I would like to know whether it is genuinely happening in speech, or whether people are hearing and saying "than" and only using "that" when they write it down.

a reply to: DISRAELI

Yeah.
Not only that, but people write "rather then", too!
Must be autocorrect but I would rather that they didn't do it.

Ok here is the live stream link to the actual vote -

Thanks for that LIVE stream of the Jeff Sessions vote!

Warren (seen below) has been uncharacteristically quiet today.

The Senate put a muzzle on her last night.

a reply to: DBCowboy

New poll (Politico) numbers show Mass voters want someone else for Senator other than Warren.

Sessions just got vote #51

Nevermind. At 99 now. Maybe everyone is actually there today.

Is everyone there or are there a couple slackers that took the day off again?

Everyone was present -
52 yes votes
47 no votes
1 abstention (sessions himself)

Glad Warren used this bit of actual work to push her new book.....

a reply to: Xcathdra
Heh, I didn't even think about Sessions himself. Good on them. It's always nice to see that they all make it to a vote.

Well, it's done. For better or worse, depending on your stance.

So proud of the Dems for changing from 60 votes needed to 51.

This is what democracy looks like!

Resist the Trump hate!

Sessions is confirmed!

AWESOME! If President Trump thinks he's the guy, so do I.

Now, who or what should Attorney General Sessions go after FIRST?

I vote CNN for being Anti-American/Traitors.

Warren and her pack of hyenas didn't like it, so I was automatically for it.
