Which is why they "borked" him.
He handed them their rear ends, debated everybody, and embarrassed some sitting senators on not just constitutional theory, but on history, and the various other items.
They were extremely ticked, and voted against him for it.
Its quite telling that no one, actually called him unqualified or said a word about his skills, they just didn't like his opinions.
The precedent was set "Never embarrass or humiliate a sitting senator who can vote against you.....but you can let them embarrass themselves".
He lost.Zip up your mouth and get the bench.I met him and his wife.He is a cork and help a few friends on the march for life-.
