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.

    Or they're drawn to me.

    Regardless of the direction of attraction, the point stands that there are plenty of crazy women out there, women with an agenda *cough* Stormy *cough* and women who tell lies often enough that they truly believe them (case in point: my ex [1]). Nobody should be "believed" solely because of their gender. They should be heard WITH AN OPEN MIND. If you want to accuse someone - man or woman - of something, I want the facts, not some "I feelz they are telling the truth" crap.

    [1] My daughter came home from visitation from my ex one day shortly after our divorce, upset and confused. Her mother had screamed at her during an public gathering yelling that an event she remembered never happened. The was visibly near tears saying "But Dad, I remember seeing it. I remember." I had to console her that she was correct and that it did happen. I was there and witnessed it too.
