I don't have time to follow this entire confirmation hearing, and I'm sure others will do so in extensive detail, so let me just say this:

ACB is immensely qualified. You're kidding yourself if you say otherwise. I completely disagree with many of her views of the law but that's

not the issue. Her qualifications are clear.

If this were being handled at a normal point in time, her confirmation would be a sure thing. She'd likely even get some Dem defections at that point.

This is going to be a razor thin vote for the sole reason that we're less than

25 days away from the election, it's being rushed by a president and a Senate majority that's fearful they're about to lose power, and Dems are still scarred from having that same Senate majority spurn Judge Garland for eight months.

Is that politics? Yeah. Will karma come back

to haunt the Republicans who sold their soul on this stuff? You bet it will.

But let's at least be honest about it. /end
