I’ll take any excuse to be able to hang out with one of my best friends Joyce Vance AND with all of you fine folks here on Substack!
Today was supposed to start with the Senate Judiciary Committee taking up the vote on whether Acting AG Todd Blanche’s nomination by Convicted Felon Donald Trump to become THE Attorney General would advance out of Committee to a full Senate vote. But, alas, poor Blanche must wait to hear his fate as the Committee has decided to postpone the vote. Why? Because Blanche is still having to joust with Senators Cornyn and (maybe?) Tillis.
Frankly, NO SENATOR should vote “yes” on Blanche for a litany of reasons, all of which reflect Blanche’s lack of fitness, integrity, and competence for the permanent gig, but I guess loyalty to Trump means ignoring decency and norms. Let’s see if Cornyn and Tillis stay the course and vote NO. It only takes ONE Republican Senator on Senate Judiciary to peel off to block Blanche.
Also, today is the day for Blanche to appear before Judge Sullivan in my lawsuit to produce specific unredacted emails and documents AND to bring with him proof to support his claims that the redactions are legit. I am waiting, just like you, with bated breath. Let’s see what happens this afternoon. Deadline per court order is 3 pm ET!
Thank you Dani Smart, Caro Henry, LeftieProf, Clarissa Sr., American Grandma, Lalisa, and many others for tuning into my live video with Joyce Vance! Join me for my next live video in the app.
