        The thing I feel is missing in these articles is a more general consciousness for the fact that Kavanaugh is, indeed, nothing special. His judicial acumen is mediocre and the reasoning in many of his opinions reeks of motivated reasoning and opportunistic invention of principles

        made up by him -- and this isn't something that was traditionally seen as disqualifying, as Scalia, Thomas and many other SCOTUS justices have shown. What I feel is missing is generally calling out the complete nonsense that the conservative "jurisprudence" has been producing

        The sanctimony, entitlement and the mind-numbing drone of a voice took me back to Ollie North's testimony. Two guys with different economic and educational backgrounds, but both members of ultimately the same criminal enterprise.

        Excellent article. He reflexively lies. Nothing about that makes him qualified for the Supreme Court.

        Let’s not put any of them on the Supreme Court either. I seem to recall that Brett Kavanaugh thought lying under oath to avoid embarrassment was an impeachable offense. He can live with his own standard. #StopKavanaugh

        If you believe any of the following, I have an exciting oceanfront investment opportunity for you - in Kansas: 1. “Renate Alumni” is a term of respect 2. Devil’s Triangle is a drinking game 3. Brett never got wasted 4. He put a shoutout to his delicate tummy in the yearbook

        Very good summary of the casualness and frequency of Kavanaugh’s deceptions and lies. And this doesn’t even cover the lies that came before Dr Ford’s accusation became known. https://theintercept.com/2018/09/29/the-unbearable-dishonesty-of-brett-kavanaugh/ …
