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.

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.

Gee, who has had endless crap thrown at her and taken it FOR HOURS at a time without cracking?

Hillary can take it. He is getting a taste of his own bitter medicine. It was so laughable he blamed the Clintons. Kavanaugh can dish it out but he can't take it.

+1. Right-wing accused Hillary of murder, and she managed to keep her cool.

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!

Here's the thing - if he were truly an upstanding, for the good-of-the-country, non-partisan guy, he would recognize that his appointment to the S.Ct. is going to undermine the institution, perhaps very significantly and for very long time, he will always have an asterisk next to his name just like Thomas (though I suppose, like Thomas, he figures he can just hang with his boot-licking Federalist society guys to make himself feel good), and his nomination is tearing this country apart. If he weren't out for anyone but himself, he would withdraw for those reasons. But, Exhibit A - Brett himself - establishes that he is only out for himself and to hell with the country.

Here's the thing - NO ONE appointed by the President will be acceptable to you. Period. The only people that will see him that way on the wackos on the left, and yes, sadly, there are plenty of you. Look in the mirror and get some help.

Dry your tears on Gorsuch's robes.

I love all these people who think they know how “professionals” respond to false allegations of moral turpitude, when they have no practical experience seeing people so accused.

Reminds me of when people though Amanda Knox was a sex murdress because she did a cartwheel when dealing with the death of her roommate. “That’s not how you act” they chanted, never for a moment reflecting on the basis for their suppositions about how one is to respond to a different situation.

I don’t know what the truth is for Kavanaugh or Ford.

I do know that you cannot divine any great insight from his anger after being accused. In either direction.

Brett is an absolute loser as far as integrity and emotional regulation.

This, which is what he should have done weeks ago for the good of his party and his family

Interestingly a judge I know and respect omce commented that the lawyers who want to be a judge the most are typically the ones lacking the right temperament.

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

When Clinton’s former campaign aide is one of those leading the charge against your nomination, I would say there may be some truth to what he is saying.
Brian Fallon leads the group Demand Justice that has been out front in vocally opposing Kavanaugh.

Brett Kavanaugh WSJ Op-ed Oct 4, 2018:
Trust me, how I behaved during that testimony is not who I am, and I would not be that way on the Supreme Court.

President Donald J. Trump, Sept 27, 2018:
"Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him."


Kavanaugh supporters care to discuss?


He’s a person who fights for what he knows is right. Why is that so hard to understand?

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 thought it was Kavanaugh the judge who was being grilled on capitol hill.

Yes, this! It’s not just the Democrats calling for him to withdraw. It’s the National Council of Churches, 650+ law professors, editorial boards, colleagues of his, and those who until supported him. Plus a former SC Justice.

Let's go to the video clip on this one ... "what difference does it make ..." five words that will live in infamy with HRC attempting to divert from her failure as SOS. You need to find another hero, she is not one and never has been. You were played.

Ford’s lawyers did her no favors refusing to supply her therapy notes, polygraph tests etc.

BK was clearly trying to suppress the guilt of having been a partisan attacker of Clinton while working for Starr and coming up with all sorts of lascivious questions to ask Clinton about Lewinsky.

Yep. Makes us question what is REALLY in those pieces of evidence.

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.

Did those accusations include such heinous acts as attempted rape, rape, gang rape and attempted murder?

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, anyone recall Kavanaugh’s role with respect to Vince Foster and Monica Lewinsky? One would expect someone who has dished out significant allegations to be able to defend himself from same without resorting to a temper tantrum at a Senate hearing,

I mean seriously. It's like he loves the idea of him being on SCOTUS more than he loves the institution of SCOTUS. He's full of himself, thinking only about "me me me and my destiny."
