His vote will determine it. He will make a statement first and speak to reporters.
Honestly, he looked peaked and seemed tone making an effort.
How can he cast the deciding vote to let this travesty move forward...*sigh*

(41,987 posts)9. I'll confess being a bit conflicted. But I fear it's just show.
If I thought it was an actual, thoughtful debate I might be more in favor.

that this is a procedural vote to allow debate.

I've had to explain it three times today that it is a committee procedure vote.
