1. Goodie, something to take my mind off the fact that I'm going to die

due to lack of health care and my wife will have to pay a fine because I didn't buy insurance I couldn't afford.

2. Ugh, would Sessions just shut up already?

We get it. You can stop with the verbal diarrhea already. While having said once the KKK "were kind of OK", clearly Sessions is the almighty arbiter of what is racism in America... :eyes:

5. "KKK elf" --that's what I think of when I see Sessions. n/t

3. I Guess No One Is Watching...

Listening to these rushpublicans...rich white men passing judgement through their rose colored and partisan glasses is sickening.

Thank goodness Judge Sotomayor will be confirmed and that its Democrats, not rushpublicans who have this pick and have the votes.

4. Nothing unexpected so far.

Speeches are pat and just a repeat of what they all said over and over at the hearings. Waiting to see some Repukes voting "aye".

6. Wow, Graham exhibiting some sense of integrity...

Even if his acceptance vote speech is one huge passive-aggressive effort at appealing to his party...

[Graybeard]

7. "She won't be much worse than Souter."

Damning with faint praise? But he will vote aye.

[Graybeard]

8. Coburn said he "enjoyed her."

What the hell does that mean? He then repeatedly called her a liar.

9. Committee vote: 13 aye - 6 nay
