    Kavanaugh just said that in judicial context, “Rushed decisions. . .aren’t always the best."

        I would have said that in any context, rushed decisions usually aren’t the best.

        He carefully used the modifier - "judicial", judicial decisions.

        Kavanaugh just said that in judicial context, “Rushed decisions. . .aren’t always the best." Yet these @GOP hacks acting on behalf of an illegitimate administration is rushing a lifetime appointment that will impact the US for generations. #SCOTUS

        Oh, the irony of this tiny bit of honesty in view of his willingness to let this donor-owned GOP senate push through his nomination without all available information. If he had any honor, he'd insist that there be a delay so this information could be made available. Discouraging.
