"SNIP..............

“President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans show up and try to stop Democrats from confirming more judges,” Axios reports.

“Democrats confirmed two more judges on Wednesday by 50 to 48 margins, with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN) missing the votes.”

“If they’d voted, Vice President Harris would have been unavailable to break the 50-50 tie as she’s currently vacationing in Hawaii.”

... surely she wouldn't be unavailable to break ties at such a fraught time, when getting these judges in is essential.

That sounds like divisive nonsense to me.

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Tuesday that she had been told Harris would be available to break judicial ties if needed,"

how's that work though from Hawaii?
