That awkward moment.....

...when Minnesota's junior (and interim) U.S. Senator doesn't seem to grasp the concept on what she's a part of.



This tweet reads as if all of Congress has a say concerning a nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. The reality is SCOTUS hearings and the final up or down votes reside solely in one chamber of Congress. That would be the Senate. Y'know, the deliberative body of which Sen. Smith is a member.

And for the record, my vote in this poll would be a write-in: As soon as the Democrats' inevitable filibuster is ended by a simple majority vote, which is now all that is required to invoke cloture thanks to former Majority Leader "Dingy" Harry Reid.
