Alaska's senior Sen. Lisa Murkowski is the bravest, most level-headed legislator in Washington, D.C., and the people of the United States have now seen it.
Before voting on whether a certain man was the best possible selection for the Supreme Court — out of all the attorneys in the entire country, for one of the highest-paid positions in government — she quietly yet firmly asked for the facts and for time for a professional investigation of allegations of serious misconduct. It was the right thing, and the adult thing, to do. Shame on those other legislators who didn't do it too.
