He keeps talking about how he voted for Sotomayor and Kagan, Democratic nominees for SCOTUS. For him, that Dems wouldn't consider voting for Kavanaugh prior to the allegations wasn't just a matter of fairness, ie one should be able to put aside party and vote for a qualified nom.

I think that's basically right, though I also think there are a number of Republicans in the "let's quietly move on from this" group who are sympathetic to the Republicans in the "voted to impeach Trump" group

Gosar will be ousted from the Oversight Committee because he serves on the panel with AOC, who was threatened in the video he posted. But he'll continue to serve on Natural Resources, where he serves as the top Republican on the Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee.

What just happened on the Senate floor is an agreement not to keep voting on measures that can't pass. They won't take another vote until there's an agreement among Dems, GOP and the WH. Meanwhile House won't vote until the Senate votes SO...
