The Kavanaugh confirmation saga still haunts the Senate. The chamber's contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to a lifetime judicial appointment shows how a painful moment in its history still looms large.

I'll go so far as to state even the GOP will regret this confirmation. Bove will become another Trump sledgehammer to silence Republicans if they even wiggle out of the designated lane. There are loyalists, and then there are LOYALISTS who will do virtually anything; no such thing as a red line.
