Yes, the earth is doomed and we are an endangered species. But let’s not “go hog wild” - let’s try to reverse course.

Exactly. He confirmed the statements that he becomes belligerent at times, was wildly partisan (he went to Fox for an interview too), was totally disrespectful to those questioning him from the Democratic side (especially women), and he lied, lied, lied.
I wouldn’t trust him to judge a pie eating contest.

Not much weight, but I love the piling on…

ABA, ACLU…

Any others?

If any woman on the SC had acted like Kavanaugh they would never have been confirmed. If they acted like that now they’d be put in a straight jacket.

Hey, sit down with him, pop a few, tell some stories, have a few more, you’ll come to a different conclusion.

Brett will insist you do.

Samuel L. Jackson himself, who commented that it was “funny as hell.”
“Funny as hell, but there’s nothing funny about his Lying Fratboy A-!!!” he tweeted Friday night.

Good one! I’d venture to say, the spoiled Brett brat would NOT get the job!

Very good point! Lindsay Graham brought up Sotomayor, but didn’t bring up his questioning of her TEMPERAMENT. HE brought up comments from lawyers and pushed her hard on that. Kavanaugh certainly failed on that account. Hell, Clarence Thomas didn’t even act out like Kavanaugh.

Holy Shit!

I think his outburst is safely filed under “If neither the law nor facts support your position, bang on the table”.

Once or twice when HR decided one of my staff should go and stuck me with the meeting while they looked on. But even that wasn’t as bad - and Kav started with a prepared statement.
