Two Out Of Six

Is this the face of our next Supreme Court Associate Justice? Apparently.

And one more thing, from Axios: This is the second time in three decades that a woman's public accusation of sexual misconduct failed to derail a man's nomination to the Supreme Court.

To put it another way, assuming Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed tomorrow, and it looks like he will be, two out of the six men on the Supreme Court will have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct.

Blogging The Bach: The Corinne Show

I have some thoughts about the current state of The Bachelor, AKA The Corinne Show, that I'll share later but first look at these tweets, all of which refer to tonight's announcement of the president's SCOTUS pick. The Bachelor may be silly, vacuous, manipulative and empty-headed (and it is all of those things,) but the producers have been brilliant in the way they've infiltrated pop culture, even among people who have (probably) never actually watched the show.

So, both SCOTUS candidates show up tonight, and Trump will give one of them a rose?  That certainly adds a hint of class to the last 10 days

The feed of the two judges waiting in Blue Room for a rose will be ratings gold. @davidaxelrod https://t.co/KAQeM6voqr
