Kerrigan

With the vote on the new Supreme Court Justice hanging in the balance will Trump followed the plan laid out by Obama when he offered Senator Landrieu $200 million dollars for her vote on Obamacare. Mary Landrieu's (D., La.) support for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for gaining $200 million additional federal funds for Louisiana's Medicaid program. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion in extra Medicaid funds -- more than twenty times the assigned amount. Trump is now faced with a similar situation in that Senator Collins of Maine on the fence regarding her vote for Judge Kerrigan. Without her vote Trump's nominee may not make it to the court.
