      Polling on Kavanaugh matters because SCOTUS' legitimacy matters. School segregation, gay marriage, Bush v. Gore--the buck stops there. Many bad ideas (court packing) gain when SCOTUS loses legitimacy. If partisans stepped back from your endless short-term fights, you'd see that.

      Bad week for anyone who prioritizes long-term health of US institutions over short-term fate of one political party. Most partisans are acting terribly. And before you respond "but the ____ are worse" 1) you're probably right 2) not as bad as the worst partisans isn't impressive

          I don't understand why Kavanaugh is the hill so many on the right appear to be choosing to die on. There are so many other conservative, qualified judges who don't have this personal baggage. Look at Gorsuch; comments about his judgements, sure, but none of the character issues

          This is where I'm at. My best answer is because short-term partisan fights are all-consuming, and they're so deep in it, they can't see it. Beat the Dems this hour. Beat the Dems this day. Nothing else matters.

          The possibility that keeps crossing my mind is Kennedy didn't want to retire but the pressure to get another "win" before mid-terms with a young conservative judge was great, and nominating Kavanaugh and Kavanaugh alone was the only way to convince him to step down.

          I mean, I hope that we're not at that stage where we're dicking with lifetime appointments for political points
