My friend swears she heard on Faux that Hillary didn't get SOS?

[Tesla]

Said one person (and named them) voted against her.
They said it when the Clinton's and the Bush's met in the Capital.
Did anyone else hear anything or that?

1. Cornyn's holding up her confirmation, but she will be confirmed...

2. It is Cornyn being a dick

The confirmation is only delayed.... vote is still 97-2 or close to that

[BrklynLiberal]

3. No. FAUX not reliable, even for lies.

[Barack_America]

4. She's not going to be fast-tracked in today because Cornyn blocked it.

It will happen tomorrow.

If one vote blocked a confirmation we wouldn't have ended up with Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, etc.

[Old and In the Way]

5. Vitter was the only one to vote against her in Committee.

I think 15-1. She's be soon known as Madame Secretary of State.

6. So how does it work?

He can block her today but tomorrow all they need is a majority vote?

8. I thought it looked like McCain was trying to console Bill when they met afterwards

It had me worried!
Thanks for your help!

7. This will be interesting.

What price will Cornyn pay for this in the future? After all, Washington is the restaurant where revenge is always served well-chilled.

9. It's John Cornyn (R-Jerk) who did that.

It's John Cornyn (R-Jerk) who objected to the voice vote. He has a whole spiel ready about how he's concerned about Bill's foundation. Bullshit. It's just him putting him thumb in the new administration's eye.

10. Cornhole's just being a dick

He's just doing it out of spite

[Lavender Brown]

11. She is already on the State Department website

12. Heard at Coryny's Senate Office

"Senator, the Vice President ahd the White House Chief of Staff are here to discuss your proposed filibuster of the President's Secretary of State nominee. It looks like they brought a dead fish and some steak knives."
