WASHINGTON - Mitch McConnell didn’t break his trademark stoic expression Saturday afternoon as his colleagues methodically voted, one by one, on whether to place Brett Kavanaugh on the United States Supreme Court.

The Senate Majority Leader and Kentucky Republican didn’t turn to face fellow senators as they declared “yes” or “no.” He barely flinched as protesters screamed from the viewing galleries overlooking the Senate floor, even as one woman was physically dragged by the arms and legs from the chamber by Capitol Police.

But McConnell was enjoying a political euphoria like he has rarely known.

Twenty days after Christine Blasey Ford went public with allegations that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her in 1982, the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to become an associate justice on the most powerful court in the country.

1. More valueless "both sides" coverage from the press

Today's press would cover actual Nazis by just telling us how they're doing in the polls.

2. I like the way some reporters pretend the erosion of democracy is really

just proof of a working democracy.

3. As to non GOPs, an evil person who is corrupt as hell.

The GOPs are not chosen from any gawd except for satan.

They can lie all they want, but we are going to get our democracy back for everyone.
