In today's US senate reality, this will never happen. All republicans basically vote in lockstep with whatever the party's donors want. And one democrat will pretty much always vote in lockstep with the rest of the republicans.

So, 50 100% votes for A, 49 80% votes for B, 1 additional 61% vote for A gives you Kavanaugh. A dude who lied under oath, making a complete mockery of the system, aided and abetted by a sham investigation by the fucking FBI, sitting on the Supreme Court whose whole job is to apply the law (the one he just made a mockery of because he LIED UNDER OATH) for the next 40 fucking years.
