The U.S. Senate, in a 50-48 vote Saturday, confirmed President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the nation's highest court.
The vote was largely on party lines, with the exception of Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), who was the lone Democrat to vote for Kavanaugh. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) announced on Friday she would vote no on Kavanaugh but voted "present" on the final vote to offset her colleague Sen. Steve Daines' (R., Mont.) absence.
Murkowski needs to be premiered the next go-round. Manchin is desperately trying to hold on to his seat in West BY GOD Virginia.
Just wait till Ginsburg kicks the bucket, and Trump gets to appoint a third justice.
By the way, any Never-Trumpers out there: Had things gone your way, Hillary Clinton would be appointing these judges. How's that taste, eh?
