Still needs a full senate vote, but it doesn't look promising.

This is just so disheartening.  I am so afraid for my children's education.............and they are so young, so many years of school ahead of them.

They'll probably vote her in since the Republicans seem to be held together on the votes of uneducated masses right now.

Looks like they won't count a proxy vote so they're calling for a revote.

They were on recess. Not sure when they reconvene.
Maybe that will give a little more time to see if she plagiarized any more questionnaire answers. There was a small part that was being questioned but I don't think it's significant enough.

How can ANYONE think she is half qualified for this position? Did we not all watch her answer the same questions?

Because they care more about sticking to party lines and/or they have received money.

The system is SO broken.
Why do they waste time with these useless confirmation hearings? We all know they will NEVER deny anyone. I mean if they confirm THIS woman, they will confirm ANYONE. ANYONE.
Why the charade?

Re: DeVos.................
Looks like the revote passed. However, the senator from Alaska said she's unsure how she'll vote on the Senate floor.

Ok so she plagiarized in her answerstwice and they see no problem with it. Then I read that they pass her through so the Senate has to vote but two of the Republicans are still iffy on her. If they are iffy on her then why did they pass her through? This just proves that they aren't doing their jobs

Great role model for education.  The Republicans need to grow a spine and demand better.

Re: DeVos.................
DISGUSTING.
This quote shows what is wrong with our system. WTF? GROW A SET and DO THE RIGHT THING:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she had been inundated with calls from Alaskans raising concerns about DeVos, but said she would support her in the committee vote out of deference to the president.
"Do note, she has not yet earned my full support. ... I would not advise yet that she count on my vote," Murkowski said.

And this is why Trump is President. They didn't vote how the people wanted. I AM so tired of hearing the people have spoken....these people who are suppose to be representing the people are voting differently. The system is ******.

YUP. It is outrageous and it has to change. This is insane.
This senator is voting yes "out of deference" to the president? WTF is that? You're trying to be PC and not offend that orange turd, but ignoring the legions of the people you swore to represent? This makes my blood boil.
