Rule No. 1 of politics: When you have the votes, you vote. When you don’t, you talk. And Kavanaugh and his allies are having to do a lot of talking right now.

—Steven Dennis of Bloomberg, tweeting about reports that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh does not have 50 senators willing to confirm him.
