MGB:_Truth has a liberal bias, especially in economics. It used to be that Senators in both parties believed the same basic economic theory. That has not been the case for a long time and it is largely donor driven.
District Court nominees are usually referred by one of the Senators from the state, although this one may be from Attorney General Sessions. The ABA downcheck is troubling, but the fact that he went to Harvard rather than Liberty or Ave Maria for law school leaves me less concered. Blame this one on DailyIKos, who insisted so strongly that the filibuster be ended because the Democrats could never lose control of the Senate. That was true idiocy.
Senator Menendez, who is a family friend, seems to have done nothing more than Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell did, even after concerted attempts to convict him. This is tacky but it is no more bribery than the pursuit of tax cuts by Repbulicas for their donors. Morally, they both are, but moral and legal are different thigs.
Michael Moore did a similar special on how nice most Trump voters are. It is no surprise that abortion is the issue that keep poltical polarization alive, which is why eve Democrats use divisive language rather than stresing why the case was rightly decided and how to get to a place of compromse.
