The exact ten squishes you thought they'd be

Here's the list of those afflicted with Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome to the degree that they'd vote to confirm as Attorney General someone who is on record as supporting such an unconstitutional measure as executive-order amnesty for illegal aliens:

Mitch McConnell (Ky.) Orrin Hatch (Utah) Lindsey Graham (S.C.) Jeff Flake (Ariz.) Thad Cochran (Miss.) Susan Collins (Maine) Mark Kirk (Ill.) Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) Ron Johnson (Wis.) Rob Portman (Ohio)

Somewhat bummed to see Ayotte and Johnson on the list.  They'd showed a bit of promise early on.  I saw Johnson speak at the AFP Defending the American Dream Summit in Orlando in 2013 and he was impressive.

Putting this in context makes it even more depressing.  Matthew Boyle at Breitbart has an exhaustive examination of the voting record of the current makeup of the Senate, including confirmation of judges and various types of bills, and it screams squish.  It's no different from how things would have gone if Freedom-Haters were still officially in control of that chamber.
