David Waldman was late and owes us 6 minutes today. Put it on his tab:
Speaking of late, Democrats hurl themselves into battle during Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination hearing, after receiving the last minute dump of a percent or two of the necessary documentation. David talks Gang of 14, Nuclear Option, judicial filibusters, Patrick Leahy’s felicitous anamnesis, and related legends, myths and history.

Screwing Russian oligarchs became an issue for Maria Butina the moment she forgot the difference between a euphemism and a metaphor.
