The investigation was working within very narrow rules.

Still, now we have 2 men on the bench who abused women and lied about it during their confirmation.

Rather, we have 2 men who were smeared by the Democrats with no proof or corroborating evidence and successfully defended their reputations, honor, and integrity.

As a Republican, I will never forget what you have done to these two men.

I was in a sorority at a fairly selective university -- none of this is shocking. I witnessed much worse by drunk boys, student-athletes, rich boys and mean girls. I'm over it. This just sounds like an insecure gal who used affirmative action to get into an elite college she didn't have the academics chops for, realized very quickly she was in the bottom decile, so she always felt like an outsider. Her professional life is a disappointment. Yale was supposed to be her ticket to the elite. It wasn't. She's angry now, she's been seething since welcome week of freshman year. Proximity to power in the 80s is her ticket to fame, her ticket to cash in in 2019. Our media has become gross. I can't even watch TV or listen to NPR anymore. Just classical music now.

I went to an Ivy, saw and partook in plenty of partying, and witnessed acts of public exposure - including male and female students who ran naked around a college courtyard in the school’s annual “nude Winter Olympics” that followed the first snowfall.

I did not in four years witness men thrusting their genitals in women’s faces or having their dicks pushed by buddies into women’s faces or hands. Maybe I missed out, but I consider myself lucky to been spared those sights.

The reason BK’s shenanigans resonate is that they continue to speak to the inequality that pervades our society. Had a black teenager decided to show up on the New Haven green some evening and expose himself, he would have been arrested. Had Deborah Ramirez decided to let loose and dance with her top off at her Yale residential college, she would have been slut-shamed for months, if not years. But Kavanaugh could basically do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, as a young adult, secure in the knowledge that he would face no consequences. And, in fact, he was right - as we’ve seen an entire political party grease his wheels for decades.

Had he been even slightly candid or contrite, or attempt to place his earlier behavior in the context of growing up at an earlier time - post-Animal House and Porky’s but pre-American Pie - he might at least seem more human or equipped to recognize the mistakes that others also make. But he has only stonewalled, so ultimately he stands for absolutely nothing other than white male privilege. That’s what he rode to power and if dismantling it means attacking him and continuing to look for opportunities to unseat him from the Supreme Court, so much the better.

This. Exactly exactly this.

We would be talking about this differently if he'd talked about it differently. If he'd said something like: The culture was different then, and I took part, and it was wrong, and I was wrong, and I am sorry. And now that I have daughters [editor's note: I hate how men only see the light when they have daughters but whatever] I can see how wrong it was, and that's why I am committed to creating a culture where women don't have to face what was considered normal then.

But he didn't. He lied. He shouted and threw a temper tantrum during his job interview. He seemed like a spoiled little boy who wasn't getting the candy he thought he deserved. He was protected by the worst kind of old boy's club. Fck that guy and eveyone who shielded him from having to face any consequences from what we all know he did. Him being a Supreme Court justice now is a travesty.

Sure you would.

And so it goes. People of privilege reveling in their ability to discount and shut down how other people feel.

You are not a good person.

My life was different from Deborah Ramirez's, but I recognize BK's behavior as very much in line with that of other privileged young white men who've never met a tree they couldn't piss on just so we're all reminded who thinks they deserve to be in charge.

Your generalization is in the same vein as every other person who makes generalizations about a group.

I’m relating observations from having spent plenty of time along men like Brett Kavanaugh. As generalizations go, it’s well founded and more than borne out by Kavanaugh’s own preening, indignant, self-reverential confirmation hearing.

Keep up, son.
That was all covered in the closed Senate hearings.

So what was the answer?

There is a reason it is a closed hearing.
The Senators have all the answers. Interesting that they aren't concerned about the finances.

Yes, it’s clear by now that nothing concerns Republican Senators as long as you love corporations and hate abortion.

OK, genius. Tell us about the Democratic Senators who have expressed grave concerns about Kavanaugh's finances after the closed hearing.

First tell us why the debt forgiveness wasn’t in his financial disclosure.

I have no clue.
And, I am certain that was addressed in the closed door briefing.
IOW - it is not our business.

Actually, it is. He was nominated by the President to the Supreme Court. In the old days (ie before 2017) all of this would be public.

No, genius. There have always been closed door hearings to discuss issues that are not public.
Sorry your nosy little self can't have all the information you want. Things don't work that way.

Here. I know how to work Google.

This is the timeline of Justice Kagan's confirmation. And, yes, it includes a closed-door hearing.

And, here is an article referencing Sotomayor's closed door hearings:

I am certain that was addressed in the closed door briefing.

Justin‘s father is Justice Anthony Kennedy, who happened to retire abruptly to make way for Trump’s Brett Kavanaugh.

His SCOTUS seat was purchased so Trump would have him in his pocket. That's the only reason that shady, perverted, blackout drunk was confirmed.

ALWAYS. FOLLOW. THE. MONEY.
