Except no. 50 ‘no’ votes would actually have resulted in a defeat of the nomination, because only 99 Senators were present.

For those of us who were paying attention, there were multiple instances of perjury with evidence to support the charge.
Because of course, it isn’t even remotely possibly that any of these women hold down one or more jobs but are using their regular days off or their vacation time.
That “certain percent” is 2-7%, or roughly the same as the percentage of false reports in other crimes.
Yes, how DARE an author leave out the completely bullshit excuse given by the people they’re talking about?
Hmmm, shall we start with “private for-profit corrections industry”?
“I only sent copies of the report to the proper and designated recipients. Oh, wait, how did this WaPo email get on that list? Oooops....”
I think I can be OK with it if they’re not focusing on the allegations, even if it’s beyond idiotic to not even speak to her. But from what I’ve read, Swetnik hasn’t said that she actually saw Kavanaugh doing anything, only that he was present at parties where getting girls too drunk to say no was “a thing.” Pushing…
It’s not in the scope of the background investigation (or maybe it is, depending on which side of his mouth the mango menace is speaking from at any given moment).

I find myself oddly happy that my dad has either CNN or the business news channel running pretty much all the time.

“Senators are less likely to defect when their party has a majority.”
Yes, Perez needs to go. No, you don’t have that fucking fight in public six weeks away from the damned election.
Because that is NOT something you decide to chat about in public just six weeks from the damn election.
“You tell them: “listen, you either vote with the team or I remember this in two years.””
