I'd like someone to tell me one credible and honorable reason

why 7 senators would vote to confirm the thug's nominee - especially one who refused to say what happened on January 6th. For one miinute, put away Democratic allegiance and provide a reason why Durbin, who is retiring, or any of the others, would cast a vote on behalf of this thug administation.
