    This is a fascinating point. The disjunction between the conservative movement myth & the actual judge applies to Bork as well. Bork made decisions Christian right should've hated (i.e. it's legal to make sterilization a job requirement). But he was this conservative hero.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1173956568620163073 …

    ICYMI from me yesterday: on the two Bretts Kavanaugh, one who is a “swamp denizen” and a “country club Republican,” the other who is a stand in for conservatism writ large. https://www.vox.com/2019/9/16/20868501/brett-kavanaugh-republicans-conservatives-criticism-idea …

        At this point does "conservatism" mean anything other than a loyalty cult in which you pledge fealty to Dear Leader or are an apostate? It's just Scientology with less Tom Cruise

        Cults of personality can shift their ideology on a dime. Orwell nailed it with the "We've always been at war with Eastasia" trope.

        Victimhood trumps policy apostacy. Matthew Dowd: GOP is less about policy and more about an emotional attitude (resentful victimhood). Bork a symbol of that on the Right (e.g. "getting Borked").

        This kind of hypocrisy is standard of the Christian right. They are all for monitoring and legislating OTHER people's behavior.

        Bork probably had 15-20 IQ points on Kavanaugh.

        Somewhere along the line America decided this was the Julii vs Junii and power was more important than representation. This has become increasingly naked in the trump era as the will of the people and the will of those in power has grown more distant
