          It’s amazing how quickly a man gets annoyed when he’s being pushed. Women have been getting pushed around for years and still manage to hold it all together. If they didnt, names would certainly be called. Kavanaugh is getting pretty arrogant and his lack of patience is showing.

          The disgrace is this nominee, who does not appear to have judicial temperament. He should spare the nation more agony and withdraw.

          Just the mere temperament of Kavanaugh is enough to disqualify him from consideration. He was a real embarrassment, with his angry outbursts and how he tried to malign Dr. Ford’s testimony as not being credible! Huh!

          This is a national disgrace, but not in the way Judge Kavanaugh suggests. The disgrace is watching a belligerent bully, lying repeatedly under oath while our old, addled, out of touch GOP committee members toe tRump’s party line with open contempt for the truth.

          How can Kavanaugh sit on SCOTUS when he holds half of Judiciary panel in such obvious contempt? Is this how he runs a case?

          Why? Why not believe the evidence? Why not believe the facts? Ford may very well be telling the truth, but believing her solely because she is a woman is infantile nonsense.
