re: #360 Thanos

Actually, I don’t see it doing anything of the kind. This is actually a pretty cut and dried confirmation process. She’s not a complete unknown, there are reversals (4) and some statements on the record that she’ll have to address. She’ll do the usual nominee bob and weave - avoiding answering the questions posed by Senators who would much rather hear themselves than ask real questions, and she’ll be confirmed by a 70-30 margin.

Sound and fury, signifying not much.

That said, this will provide the summer entertainment in DC since Congress will generally be out of session and there isn’t much else for the political class to do.
