Doug Jones is voting yea on Barr’s nomination.

re: #333 Eclectic Cyborg

He’s probably doing this to try and increase his chances of being re-elected. Democrat or not, Jones is still from a deeply red state and will have a much harder time beating a Republican who is NOT as damaged as Roy Moore was.

I’ve also heard it argued that Barr is an old school institutionalist (at least what passes for one in the current GOP). He may be the best option for Ds comparatively to what the choice could have been.

That said. I really have no idea.
