I particularly loved this part:

HuffPost spoke to three GOP senators after the vote and two -- Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah) and Jeff Sessions (Ala.) -- said they weren't familiar enough with her nomination say why she deserved to be filibustered, but both voted with leadership anyway. (Sessions said he was aware there were "strong feelings" among Republicans on the committee.)

As I have said before, the President has the right to put people he wants in his administration and the use of the filibuster to block appointments is irresponsible unless there is some really major problem with a candidate like they robbed a bank or something.

That's pretty stupid of them. He won the election, he gets to appoint who he wants - within reason of course.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D
