Playbook: “Based on our reporting, it seems slightly more likely than not that Brett Kavanaugh will be a Supreme Court justice. Not by that much, but by a smidge.”

“Senior Republicans told us that a lot of attention is being paid to Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, but there are other serious wild cards — like Jeff Flake of Arizona — and others, depending on how today’s hearing goes. GOP leadership has good situational awareness on Collins and Murkowski — less so on Flake and no ability to predict how this hearing will go, and how viscerally people will react.”

“But today, we find ourselves at a moment where culture is a much more powerful force than conventional politics. The vote counting and partisan messaging that is the normal stuff of Capitol Hill and Washington is almost irrelevant compared to the way this episode is exposing sharp differences among Americans, based on their own life experiences, the prevalence of sexual assault and the notions of fairness in society.”
