      Red bubble has rejected my argument. I point out that SCOTUS confirmations aren't criminal trials, so beyond a reasonable doubt isn't the appropriate standard. Roberts, Alito, and Gorsuch all cleared the high bar, and another conservative could too. Red bubble disagrees. 8/x

      The partisan fight is all-consuming. Because red bubble’s unshakable premise is Dems are unjustly smearing Kavanaugh, giving in elevates mob justice, incentivizing future made up accusations. And Dems might win the Senate, blocking any conservative. It’s Kavanaugh or bust. 9/x

      Blue bubble's caught up in the partisan fight too. Kavanaugh's position on abortion today is evidence he committed attempted rape in high school. Other white, prep school, ivy league men have committed sexual assault, which makes him more suspect. He's more symbol than man. 10/x

      In a little while, Kavanaugh will withdraw, get confirmed, or voted down. But the competing red and blue narratives about him will persist. The wounds will fester, no matter how it turns out. And the judicial wars will continue to escalate. The system cannot hold forever. (END)

      1/2 I think your premise of The-Right-does-it,-the-Left-does-it—-they're-all-the-same! is a false equivalence: yes, progressives are opposed to this unambiguous political operative on political grounds, but they're opposed to him in this process on grounds of perjury &c.

      2/2 The Democrats want a) an FBI investigation, and b) Republican Senators to ask their own ?s. By casting these demands as empty partisanship, you're saying—I think—that they're equal to a') Investigate? the FBI??, and b') optics > substance.

      3/2 [sorry] But yes, when it comes to compulsory incubation, there's not much conversation: the Left has, in my view, hardened its opposition to compulsory incubation in response to 40 years' conservative extremism.

      I don’t think they’re equivalent, and never said they were. I do, however, see similarities in the unshakable conviction each has that they’re right and the other’s wrong. What you wrote is an example of that.

      But your 'red bubble/blue bubble' comparison renders the "bubbles" equally bubbles (you do this explicitly in 10/), as you say you're unshakably convinced they are. That equality, I think, is false: one 'side' is impervious to empirical compulsion, the other, sensitive to it.

      And your 10/… who has argued that being absolutely anti-reproductive autonomy entails ("is evidence") having been a high-school attempted rapist? or that his privileged identity alone makes him more suspect? He's a *perjurer*, and this Yale-intern stuff is suspicious at least.

      You don't seem to be disagreeing with how I've characterized the dominant narrative within the blue bubble.

          In 10/, you characterize the dominant narrative within the blue bubble so: "Kavanaugh's position on abortion today is evidence he committed attempted rape in high school." Who on the Left has said that being vs abortion is evidence of having committed attempted rape?

          Your characterization goes on: "Other white, prep school, ivy league men have committed sexual assault, which makes him more suspect." Who is on the Left is blaming K for anything anyone else has done? He was sold as a symbol from the get-go by his nominators and, now, defenders.
