what they might hope to accomplish by having a conservative on the supreme court. most of the undecided senators would prefer a conservative supreme court. but i think they have to weigh it against fitness and character and a number of things that were said in the course of the confirmation hearing process. i think there s plenty of evidence out there that should give someone real pause about supporting the nomination of judge kavanaugh. well, we ll all be watching. this has been some process to behold. you were one of the bright spots. you and jeff flake. you did something that was about more than just partisan advantage. senator and i m grateful to jeff for that. and he, i m sure, is grateful to you for making your side agree to it. we ll see what happens when the report comes out, what s in it, how people feel about the timing and content at that point. you re always welcome here to make the case. thank you, senator. thank you, chris. all right. we do know for sure the r
