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.

    The timing is important. When things get moving it would of course be best to be far away from large cities. In the meantime, the large cities are where the jobs are that pay well enough to support a family. So does everyone leave the cities now and scratch out a living in the Rockies on a survivalist's compound for 5 years until chaos ensues, or should everyone hang tight for 4 years and lay down solid evac plans?
