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.

    And that has absolutely nothing to do with her claims that she was sexually assaulted by soon to be Justice Kavanaugh. OK, not technically absolutely nothing, it was the reason for her going to therapy, but that's a rather ridiculous basis for concluding that she was lying when Kavanaugh was telling such whoppers. Boofed means farted, seriously.

    I'm an MRA and it's really hard to justify taking his side on the merits of what we know and in light of the complete lack of any sort of real investigation.
