1) Kavanaugh: the person at the hearing is not who I am. 2) Trump: the person at the hearing is exactly who he is and that’s why I nominated him. 3) Discuss |

He stated it pretty clearly in his piece. As a judge, he is even-tempered and unbiased. As a father and husband who is wrongly accused of heinous acts, he will aggressively defend HIMSELF against such attacks. Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand. |

| I wish all of the retired S. Ct. Justices would share their opinions on wherher Judge K has the temperament for the S. Ct. I would like to hear the opinion of people who have actually done the job. I also would like to develop a way for sitting S. Ct. Justices to, and it would need to be done in a way to ensure anonymity, provide their input to the Senate and/or President. |

1) BK *lied* under oath about his drinking. Doesn't matter why, or what pressures were on him, or that the drinking took place when he was younger. A SCOTUS should *never* lie under oath. The truly sad part about this is that if he had not lied about his drinking (which we all would have chalked up to as typical highschool/college behavior), we would be more likely to believe him about the Ford assault claims.
2) BK was clearly partisan when it mattered. Before the SJC, televised before the nation, he made clearly biased claims about the Democratic Party and the Clintons. |

He was offensive at the hearing, and I don't believe for a minute that wasn't his true self. This is corroborated by his op-ed that continues with the entitlement and whine. No professional I know would have behaved like that on the stand. My husband has had to engage in a similar manner in a highly stressful situation with repeated attacks on his personal integrity and morals, and kept his cool admirably. |

| When you get to the point where you have to write an op ed in a major newspaper defending yourself, you are a joke. Stop the farce and step down. Have a little bit of self respect. You are embarrassing yourself and your family. |

BK is obviously not suitable for the supreme court
The question is only.. how low will the senators go? Will they preserve the legitimacy of the supreme court or will they turn it into another partisan and untrustworthy branch of government? |

Low. Very low. He will likely be confirmed. And we can all mourn the day he ruined the Supreme Court. Way to go Brett! |

Not sure why it is hard for you to understand that a potential SC Justice should NEVER LIE under oath. He lied about his drinking. Only a fool would believe what he stated before the SJC as whole truth and nothing but the truth. Do you understand what an oath is? Also, the anger doesn't justify his specific mention of the Clintons in a hearing before the SJC. |

1. No he didn’t. 2. No he wasn’t. I think it is crazy that these insane allegations were thrown at him and you expect him to respond in a calm manner. I also think it is telling that your arguments for not confirming him have moved throughout this confirmation. A sign that you are prepared to throw anything at him to derail the nomination. |

Bull! We show our true character when under stress. We know what Kavanaigh is and he is not fit to be on US Supreme Court or any court for that matter. He is an accused rapist, and committed perjury. |

Blaming the allegations on left wing organizations as revenge for the clintons isn't partisan? Posts like this are why people think you are stupid |

Defend yourself is one thing. If you honestly believe you have been wrongly accused of a wrong, I imagine that would be very frustrating. But he went around the bend. I have no problem with him pointing out that the only evidence against him is Dr. Ford’s testimony, even if done in a manner that is emotion or angry. But to suggest, without evidence, that some democratic operative somehow got Dr. Ford to fabricate the event, in retaliation against him for working on the Star Investigation is ridiculous. I think it is crazy that he thinks it is appropriate for him to get people to sign letters saying he is or the finest moral character, etc., but when other people sign letters expressing their contrary opinions of his character it is the result of democratic operatives spreading false information. And when he seemed offended that political groups would spend money on ads against his confirmation he failed to mention the ads of groups in favor of his confirmation. I personally have only seen ads touting his confirmation. I have not seen any against. |

| If we truly believe the Supreme Court should be above politics and not subject to public whims, campaigning for the position should be disqualifying. |
