A divided Senate narrowly approved Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination on Saturday, bringing to an end one of the bitterest confirmation battles in the history of the high court.
The near party-line roll call vote in the conservative jurist’s favor followed weeks of raucous partisan sparring over claims that President Trump’s pick sexually assaulted several women when he was younger.
A stone-faced Vice President Pence presided over the contentious vote, which was repeatedly interrupted by protesters shouting “shame on you” from the gallery.
Pence was forced to pause the counting and hammer a gavel as he called for order in the chamber.
The final tally split the chamber 50-48 as Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia became the sole Democrat to vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ak.) voted “present” as a courtesy to another GOP member absent for his daughter’s wedding…..
For those who wouldn’t hire Brett to wash cars even?
We’ll be alright
We ‘re living thru Trump
We’ll be alright
Gonna take some hits
But THAT will
Make us stronger
Profundity to see Democrats not lay down
Now it’s up to those on the sidelines
Ya gotta go out and VOTE PEOPLE
Ain’t no better way to ease the pink and the fear
Just what the doctor ordered
VOTE
Like your life depends on it
