FYI Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) - 49-years-old - has suffered a massive stroke and underwent emergency surgery.
-Even if he survives, he will be absent from the Senate. And the Senate doesn't allow remote voting.
-This means Dems now have 49 votes at maximum for confirmation of a Biden SCOTUS nominee (and any legislation).
I feel sorry for Ben, but man, 2022 is really shaping up bad for Democrats.
Worse than I thought.

The Dems will just change the rules. They always do.
