Which pick shocked you more than all the others? 3. Which of the nominees do you think will fail to get 50 votes in the Senate? 4. Is this "shock and awe" so that when some of these picks are withdrawn, the replacement nominee will look so much better that they will sail through confirmation?

Fact Checker
NT now includes fact-checking for comments. Next to the comment flag icon, a checkmark icon provides an interface with PolitiFact and with Google Fact-Checker.
To use this feature, select a portion of text in a comment representing a claim that you would like to submit to the fact checkers. Then click the icon. The claim (selected text) will be fact-checked and, if fact check reports are found, the results will be returned to you.
If you would like to adjust the words before they are submitted for fact-checking, hold down the SHIFT key when clicking the icon. This will popup a dialog that gives you the option to tailor the claim to get better results.
PolitiFact is very generous and will at times return very loosely related fact-checks based on your submitted claim. Google Fact-Checker is, in contrast, stingy and will require a very specific, carefully worded claim.
Google Fact-Checker works best if the claim is expressed with few words and if the words are mostly keywords.
The results returned come from many sources and you can click on a report link to directly go to the content.
