Posted by italianstallion on Thu Feb 14 19:42:41 2013, in response to Republicans Block Hagel Nomination, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Feb 14 17:09:07 2013. Just a delay till next week.From one political website: One senator — Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — voted present. If he’d voted ‘yes,’ the debate on Hagel’s nomination would’ve ended and he’d be on a glide path to confirmation. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) changed his vote from yes to no, to preserve his procedural right to reconsider the issue at his discretion, likely after next week’s President’s Day recess. By then the issue should be a formality. Multiple GOP senators, including John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Lamar Alexander (R-TN), have all announced that they intend to switch their votes from no to yes when the issue comes before the Senate just over a week from now. |
