How did Brett “Da Keghead” Kavanaugh and Handmaiden COVID Barrett’s nomination pass the same Senate Judiciary Committee that deadlocked on Ketanji Brown Jackson?

Tina Sacks retweeted

These things keep happening over night. But they absolutely did not happen overnight. True of abortion, true of climate change. We wake up to individual horrors because so many were comfortable/powerful enough to sleep soundly through decades of alarms.
