How many Republicans does it take to confirm a judge?
Orange Don's nomination for the US Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, has been confirmed by the US Senate in a 52-48 vote. According to the BBC's report, Mr Trump's fellow Republicans voted 52-48 to approve the judge, overcoming the unified opposition of Democrats.
Hang on a minute, Mr Trump's fellow Republicans didn't vote 52-48 for the nomination, the entire Senate voted 52-48. The Republican faction voted 52-1.
I realise that taking issue over the BBC's sloppy journalism is pretty mean. But they're supposed to be professionals, and care about this shit. (SMH)
