Kavanaugh Update

As I understand it, a Senate procedural vote on cloture will take place later today - Friday; the key will be getting a majority to cut off debate on the Kavanaugh nomination. At least 30 hours later, a vote on the actual nomination will occur, supposedly on Saturday.

The right has a lot invested in the Kavanaugh candidacy. I hope Justice K doesn't turn out to be a squish, once he's confirmed. Historically, that has been a real danger for supposed conservative justices.
