Figures.

3. What's the scoop on him?

I assume this means the clock gets turned back to 1950??

4. White male?

I hope so. It will be easier for our side to rally opposition than if it was a similarly minded non-white male.

Remember Clarence Uncle Thomas was confirmed with 52%. I tend to think that if he was a white male conservative with the same views and the same, er, sketchy past, he would have been defeated.

5. Completely different Senate.

Now, it's just a republican rubber stamp.
