US Senate confirms Huckabee as next Israel envoy, voting largely along party lines

[IsraelTimes] The US Senate voted almost entirely along party lines on Wednesday to confirm the nomination of former Arkansas governorMike Huckabee to be Washington’s ambassador to Israel.

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania — an ardent supporter of Israel and virtually the only Democratic ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — was the lone lawmaker to break with his party by joining Republicans in backing Huckabee’s nomination.

The final vote tally was 53 to 46 in favor of Huckabee, a passionate evangelical supporter of Israel and its West Bank settlement movement.

President Trump on the confirmation of Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel:

"He’s going to be fantastic. He’s going to bring home the bacon, even though bacon isn’t too big in Israel. I had to clear that up. Congratulations to Mike Huckabee." 😂 pic.twitter.com/1vS3b0QIDA

#2 The party-line stuff needs to be brought out...somehow.

A resolution could be offered declaring what day of the week *today* is, and here's the possible outcomes:

IF a Republican offered it, it would pass on party line vote. The Democrats would vote against it in mass.

IF a Democrat offered it, it would pass with a 90% approval rate, and the majority of those voting "no" would be those Republicans who vote against anything that doesn't include a balanced budget, and serve to annoy everyone of both parties.
