Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.

Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

    Yeah, we like to let them win one now and again so they have hope coming into the game. Victory's so much sweeter when you can snatch that hope away and wipe your ass with it.

      That's not laughter, that's weeping. I know the shaking shoulders can confuse. It probably stems from the fact that they have more than three times the Big12 conference titles than the next closest contender, Texas.
