Vote Agreed to (55-38, 1 Present, 6 Not Voting)
Senators agreed to invoke cloture and end debate on Thursday on the nomination of Robert L. Wilkins to be United States Circuit Judge for the District of Columbia Circuit. As in other cloture votes since the Senate changed its filibuster rules on judicial nominees in November, Senators Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted with Democrats to end debate. The Senate is expected to confirm this nomination today.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Senator Murkowski showing why Alaska Republicans voted her out in the primary.
She is a moderate Democrat, in the Republican party because it is politically expedient.
Recent House Votes:
Solid Waste Disposal Regulations Passage
Vote Passed (225-188, 19 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill along party lines on Thursday to alter the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) role in overseeing the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The measure requires the EPA to get states approval to add sites to a priority list within its Superfund cleanup program and would allow states to add potential cleanup sites to the list. It also would allow the EPA to review and revise waste disposal regulations and would eliminate the federal governments claims to sovereign immunity from state enforcement actions over Superfund cleanups of sites on federal property.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Hello, I am Democrat, anything that might shift rights to the states is an anathema to me. The Constitution said all undefined rights belong to the states. Just watch, the Senate or the President will kill this thing.

Sarcastically speaking, why should a department of the Federal government be answerable to a state?
State officials are not confused as to who their constituency is, federal employees are answerable only to the President and their union, the EPA does not give two shits about local communities or state economies.
Upcoming Votes:
Unemployment Compensation Extension - S.1845
Senators will consider a bill extending long-term unemployment benefits on Monday.
Can't fix unemployment can you Mr. President, but no worries, if you maximize the number of people dependent on hand outs, the political leverage gained far outweighs your moral failure as a leader.
