Who cares? Jones PRETENDS he may vote in favor of Amy if the confirmation votes are cast after the Presidential election is determined. Horse feathers! Jones is a post turtle.

Jones is betting the Dems will retake either the Senate majority or the White House (or both), which makes the period before the election the only time of disadvantage for them in the court pick. After the election, either they would control the nomination, or they would control the confirmation. He's hedging his bets, which is what politicians do. So why is this even newsworthy?

Democrat in lock step with Democrst position gets thoughtful analysis. Republican in lock step with Republicans is a partisan tool.

Doug who??? Ohhhh Doug The Loser, that’s who. The same Doug that Dist know that it is the Constitutional right and obligation for a sitting President to nominate a SC replacement. Nothing in the constitution makes this contingent on winning an election in the future. You vote doesn’t matter at all so stay home.

This piece of scum is flooding the Alabama airwaves with the LIE, FALSEHOOD, SMEAR that President Trump has called our dead warriors, Losers & suckers and going after coach Tuberville about not responding... not only does he vote to impeach our President without one specific crime listed, he slanders our President over and over! I cannot wait to vote this vermin out on November 3rd... I think I'm looking more forward to eradicating this scum that voting for the President in Alabama!

I can only find 1 poll on the AL senate race and Tuberville was up 52-35% over Jones. He will fall in line with all the other Dems since nothing will save his senate seat anyways.

So he is the most vulnerable one running for reelection in November. No mention of his (R) opponent but Republicans now and they will vote - right, Alabama? This could be the final nail in Jones’s political coffin.

Whoa. He’s (D) senator. Who cares if one fewer (D) senator votes? Abstains, right? Even if he were to vote against confirmation it wouldn’t mean a darn thing. Silly man.

The nominee is either qualified or not. What day you vote yes/no does not change that. Sen Jones may think he is taking a principled stand by doing this, while it really shows that he is just another Democrat political hack.

Fair is fair, when Doug Jones loses to Tommy Tubbervile November 3, let's swear him in immediately. Hopefully, we can hold the seat in AZ with Martha McSorley - Kelly is Schumer pick and is quite compromised by the ChiComs.

His purpose is to give Murkowski/Collins cover to also not support Barrett pre-election.

Well, #11, we have a video of Biden calling our troops "stupid bastards". There is no video of Trump disparaging any of our military. So just don't listen to his lies. We will have the last laugh!
