Looks like the yes Republicans went in a group to vote. We went from 3 to 9 pretty quickly.
*votes could change — one already had earlier — but these look like they’re sticking
We’re up to 11.
Final vote is 230-199. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is removed from committees.
Here are the 11 Republicans:
Katko, Kinzinger, and Upton are the only three House Republicans to vote for Trump’s second impeachment and to remove Greene from her committees.
All three of these House Republicans also voted to certify the election results, so, there's that:
Only 77 House Republicans — out of more than 200 — have cast one or more "good votes" in this "do you still believe in facts and/or democracy?" Venn diagram.

Honestly, this jumble of a late-night ruling highlights the problems with the shadow docket on several grounds — not the least of which is the fact that Alito calls for a different outcome than Thomas and Gorsuch, but joins Gorsuch’s opinion?
And here’s a related order: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Here are the actual orders, which are, effectively, the same, aside from procedural posture. ImageImage

So good to see.
Random fact: A set of twins figures into Virginia’s modern death penalty story: Jerry Kilgore tried, unsuccessfully, to ruin Tim Kaine’s career by fearmongering over the death penalty 16 years ago and now Terry Kilgore cast a losing vote trying to retain the death penalty.
I wrote two big stories relating to Virginia and the death penalty over the past decade, both of which made clear to me how abhorrent, unjust, and unworkable this system is. One was about the execution of Alfredo Prieto in 2015. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… Image

Yeah, if this is MTG’s apology, this ain’t it.
I feel bad for the people who now have to go through and show that she in no way “walked away from” conspiracy theories after 2018.
Marjorie Taylor Greene just concluded her "apology" by saying the media is "just as guilty as QAnon."

That's that.

Interesting what a secret ballot and two weeks with Trump out of office does. Half as many as House Rs voted to oust Cheney as voted against certifying election results exactly four weeks ago.
To follow up here: Contrast this vote with, reportedly, half of them standing and clapping for M*rjorie. That shows that half of the caucus is either with her or afraid of being know, even within the caucus, as pushing back against her extremism.
So, if that reporting is correct, there are roughly 40 or so House Republicans who secretly voted for Liz Cheney tonight AND to other GOPers’ faces stood for Marjorie Taylor Greene. And of course, another 20 or so who voted against certification a month ago.

After the White House made clear they want professional diversity front and center for judges, @SenatorBennet & @SenatorHick recommend a BigLaw partner & former AUSA for district judge (and current/former prosecutors and BigLaw attorneys for US attorney). coloradopolitics.com/colorado-in-dc…
Colorado Politics reports that they recommend Regina M. Rodriguez of WilmerHale for district court, and Kristin Bronson (Denver city attorney), Cole Finegan (former Denver city attorney and current Hogan Lovells), and Hetal Doshi (AUSA) for US attorney.
Also: Is the Biden administration really going to be putting forward nominees approaching 60 after Trump ended his term putting a 33-year-old on the bench???
