- How is there no evidence when he clearly lied repeatedly live on TV?yuekit
- The guy even went so far as to invent a fake drinking game to make himself look better.yuekit
- Of course it's very difficult if not impossible to prove assault allegations from 30 years ago. But the guy's partisan hackery and willingness to lie combinedyuekit
- with the allegations from multiple people are going to delegitimize the Supreme Court in the eyes of a lot of people.yuekit
- I suspect that if Republicans could wave a wand and swap him out with someone else they would. But it's logistically too difficult at this point.yuekit
- Agree with the above, but without any actual proof of the ford incident, there's just no way anything will actually come of it. Republicans close ranks in...ben_

- he has 12 years of judicial history on the record for all to see and review and judge his temperamentGnash
- none of the clerks who have ever worked for him have said anything neg about his temperament, in fact they say the opposite.Gnash
- for me, his leanings on Roe v wade are enough to vote no - that's all I need. The rest of the screeching is bullshitGnash
- His temperament is right there on camera in the hearings. He alternated between ranting about liberals out to get him, breaking down crying, and lying aboutyuekit
- random shit from high school that would make him look bad.yuekit
- Also this guy was his mentor:
https://www.theguard…yuekit - You have to read between the lines a little bit. Of course elites are going to back up other people within the same circles, particularly when they haveyuekit
- something to gain from it.yuekit
- well, Gnash, he blew up his 12 years of good temperament when he opened his testimony with the rant he gave. He threw out any notion of impartiality for himselfkirshar12
- I'm not saying both Dems and Repubs didn't do bad things here. They certainly did. Just that Kavanaugh chose very poorly on how to handle himself.....kirshar12
- And, if you can't be honest about your past (drinking in high school and college) when asked, that erodes your credibility...kirshar12
