Now is it still true that there's a senator who's planning to, he might miss the vote I think he's a Republican. He might miss the vote on Kavanaugh because his daughter has a wedding. Is that still true? Because I saw I heard it yesterday but then I didn't see it on the news. So I'm going to say wedding. Kavanaugh. Senator I forget which senator it was. Senator Daines will be on Saturday and they might hold open the vote overnight.

All right so you've got a Republican who's, every vote is necessary. But here's a Republican senator whose daughter has a wedding on that day. What would you do? What would you do if your two choices were this: your daughter's wedding that you really can't change, it's kind of hard-coded at this point. You've got your daughter's wedding you can be at or you can be the important final vote to change the course of the courts for maybe generations in a way that your side wants. What do you do? What would you do if it were your daughter? Would you go to the wedding or would you stay for the vote if you had to choose?

He might not have to choose. He said he'd vote. Here's what I'd do and I'm just gonna put my thing out there. If it were me I'd go to the wedding. But here's what I would also do. I would go to my Democrat friends and let's say that by the time of the vote everybody's already announced their vote. So let's say that the undecided people by the time of the vote have already decided so that there's no doubt which way the vote will go at the last minute when they actually vote.

Don Jr. fixed it because he's gonna fly him or something. But just hypothetically here, wouldn't Senator Daines of the GOP, suppose he asked his Democrat friends once they knew that the vote was going to go for a confirmation, then there was no doubt about it but the only way it could happen is if he got somebody who was a Democrat to vote for him so that he can go to the wedding. Wouldn't you like to see that?

Now that person would have a little bit of a problem in their own district because in their own district they'd have to explain no it wasn't a real vote. I was just voting so this GOP guy could go to his daughter's wedding. It would be nice and maybe it could work in favor of the person who did it.

But here's a better suggestion. If we get to the point where we know which way the vote's going to go and the only difference is whether this poor guy gets to go to his daughter's wedding or he doesn't, if it came down to that and it looks like maybe we've solved it so that won't be a problem but if it came down to that I think the Democrats should vote unanimously for a confirmation.

Because if the Democrats voted unanimously for confirmation no single Democrat could be singled out as the one who flipped and it would be a bigger story. And it would say yeah we've had this huge fight over this thing but when it got down to the final thing we're human beings and the human thing to do would be to preserve the vote the way the GOP was going to get it anyway if this poor guy didn't stay for his daughter's wedding and still let him go to the wedding because the result is going to be the same. You still get the confirmation of Kavanaugh. That's a done deal.

But why not be nice people? Why not give some cover for a colleague? It would be tremendous. It would be just tremendous. A good look for the Democrats because they would take the human element as a priority and that feels on brand to them and it would be a good collegial act. I don't see any of that happening by the way and it looks like it's solved but it's fun to talk about.

The vote is over somebody says. You'd have to trust them to do that. Well would you or would you just have them come back and do the whole thing again and vote him in? Yeah I'm not saying any of that's going to happen but it would certainly be fun and memorable and good for the world. Votes are taken in alphabetical order and he is Daines so he's going to be upfront.
