Unfuckingbelievable.

1. How? The Senate's constitutional duty is to give advice and consent on these nominations.

There are many other things to take offense to than this.

3. Oh come on, the subtext is clear. nt

[DonaldsRump]

4. The constitutional text is clearer, specifically using the word "consent"

I don't have access to get by the WSJ paywall, so I can really only see the title. Is there something else in the article that leads you to the conclusion about subtext? If so, could you quote it for those of us that can't access WSJ?

Thanks!

5. The *senate* gives consent. Individual *senators* do not.

Individual senators can give their vote for it against senate consent, but they do not themselves "consent".

"Advice" is different, because individual senators could, if course, give advice at any point.

7. You know what? I'm fucking sick and tired of the bullshit.

Take it someplace else.

8. Whom are you referring to? n/t

2. The Murdoch Street Urinal steps up to the plate and miserably fails.

6. I hate these assholes.

9. Not seeing it

Susan Collins Consents
The Maine Republican restores reason to the Kavanaugh confirmation.

Where's the joke?

[Iliyah]

10. I don't care.

11. This is adding insult to injury

Anyone who is still buying this newspaper has to cancel after this debacle.
