vandyke nomination, and notwithstanding the rules of -- rule 22 the senate vote on cloture on sullivan, hahn and skipwith nominations, and if cloture is invoked, the confirmation votes occur at that time to be -- at a time to be determined by the majority leader in consultation with the democratic leader on thursday, december 12. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: so madam president, it's no secret that washington democrats have been itching to im -- to impeach president trump since the moment he took the office. remember "the washington post" headline, this was on inauguration day in 2017. the campaign to impeach president trump has begun. that's "the washington post" headline on inauguration day 2017. just a few months later in april of 2017, one leading house democrat had already made up her mind. she declared she would, quote, fight every day until he's impeached. as an aside, this same snoor democrat is one of the committee chairwomen that speaker pelosi helped to lead the impeachment process. she was literally standing at the speaker's shoulder as she announced ye

nine comes around, you're selling entire ending after trilogy without the idea of seeing visuals of hahnke, leia in the trailer. besides that it doesn't have the core main characters in the promotion for the film. connell: right. >> so i think in my opinion we're a bit of a "star wars" fatigue, right? a lot of questions where these even movies even fall in regards to the timeline. "solo" the spin-off, "rogue one," it did a lot of money it, opened up at lowest. it is at the end of the nine "star wars" saga. there is a lot of criticism. episode 8 was very divisive among critics and audiences. this is other way around. audiences enjoy episode nine. critics were very divisive. connell: i don't know enough, my "star wars" fatigue set in much earlier. i'm probably the wrong person to ask. >> right. connell: a lot of people are obsessed with it, but maybe not level they needed to be. what is the critissue with the movie and what issue do have with it? what did you think of movie? >> i'm on other end of the spectrum. i loved the force a wakens. i didn't like "the last jedi." that film ways away
