Happy Friday! I was trying to write the book yesterday, but I couldn't stop watching the Senate hearings about Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the Republican nominee to the Supreme Court. For newcomers to the story: the Republicans refused to confirm Obama's final nominee, Merrick Garland, in the last year of his presidency, because... reasons. They just flat-out held the nomination open in the hope that a Republican would win in 2016, and they got their wish. Their nominee was a guy called Neil Gorsuch. The Democrats were grumpy about the Garland business, but confirmed Gorsuch with relatively little pushback.
