QOTD: “The epic showdown just didn't happen. The Democratic questioners were sluggish and without focus; with one exception, their questions lacked the sting of an opposition party that really wants to bring down a nominee...

...Yes, on the one hand, Democrats weren't sharp. But on the other hand, Sessions smoothly handled questions that might have tripped up a less prepared nominee...

...It's not necessary to go down each line of questioning in detail, but the bottom line is that few, if any, laid a glove on Sessions...

...At that point, in the early afternoon, the energy seemed to have leaked out of the room, and out of the Democrats' effort to stop Sessions.” --Byron York
