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.

    He's not being paid anything; he just thinks he's going to get some kind of payoff from this. The stupid fool. The stupid goddamn self-destructive pig-ignorant fool.

    I guess I'd prefer to think that these people are being paid, because that makes at least some modicum of sense and is an easier problem to solve.

      Just change your thinking. You can't fix most of the reasons that people have a different opinion. It can be merely different interests or it can be crazy. But it's not that hard to figure out their motivations, if you think about them.

      Large segments of the human race are stupid, evil, or some varyingly-proportioned mixture of both. Shitstain over here is gonna end up reincarnated right in the middle of this crap in one of the worst possible ways; think "racial minority, poor, and disabled" here.

    I'm paid in smug satisfaction everytime a liberal comes unhinged when their temper tantrums fail to deliver their misguided political goals. It's like watching a toddler throw fits in Toys R Us when mama says no. Behave rationally and we can work together. Act like a 3 year old and you'll keep getting treated like one.

      And yet you are OK with Trump acting like a 3 year old.
