Kavanaugh confirmed!

The voting for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh began at around 4 p.m. Saturday and, zippidee doo dah . . . he has been confirmed and could be on the job as early as Monday.

This has been the most disgusting confirmation hearing ever. The Democrats still are upset with the results--lipless Patrick Leahy (D-VT) , the senior old white guy senator said that he couldn't understand why the Senate couldn't wait to vote after all the investigation was complete [and he would be dead of old age].

The chamber voted to confirm 50 to 48, and the only Democrat to vote 'aye' was Joe Manchin of West Virginia.  Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was a 'no,' but voted 'present' as a courtesy to Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana) who was walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.

Murkowski is toast, I suspect.

Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made his speech entirely through his left nostril but it didn't have the desired effect as the confirmation is now history.

After the confirmation, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke and congratulated Brett Kavanaugh and the President. Then he took questions from the media.
