@AndrewDesiderio GOP exasperation rising. "Not helpful" to R message, says Sen. Ernst. "It’s what we’ve come to expect," says Sen.

Republicans have spent weeks hammering Biden as too slow in responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Enter Rand Paul, who is single-handedly delaying a bill cutting off trade relations with Russia. Standoff could last for weeks https://t.co/xn7cbVhRTt @AndrewDesiderio — PolitiTweet.org

Graham is giving his colleagues negative feedback about her nomination, according to other GOP senators. “I haven’t asked any Republican not to vote for Judge Jackson. They can make their own mind up,” Graham said in an interview. “I’ve been giving them my two cents worth.” — PolitiTweet.org

A tied committee vote “would send a pretty bleak message to talented Black women,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). If all Rs oppose on floor, a tied vote would mean first Black female VP breaking tie on first Black female SCOTUS nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

As McConnell announces opposition, GOP frets over how hard to fight Jackson. Republicans say they won’t boycott committee vote to stop her indefinitely, but a tied vote could require first SCOTUS discharge motion since 1853 (!) ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ https://t.co/14taitmlHv — PolitiTweet.org

Technically, the mark-up will be scheduled for Monday, March 28, but committee rules allow members to "hold over" the nominee for a week. That's how you get April 4 — PolitiTweet.org
