    Kavanaugh casts his emotional, partisan testimony before Senate Judiciary as momentary pent-up frustration and the desire to clear his name. But he wrote the opening statement - which is what drew so much scrutiny - the day before.

        Good point. And then was rude to senators for hours. This strikes me as the same pattern -- do bad things, try to skate by.

        Bull. He was coached to throw a frat boy hissy fit to impress Trump. Trump was privately criticizing him for not fighting back and doing poorly in the Fox interview. It backfired.

        But he said he was sorry and that he’ll totally go back to being impartial and stuff.

        It was a silent "sorry" since he really didn't say he was sorry, or apologize or say he was wrong. He made an excuse. I had to be a jerk cause my kids and dad were there.

        Ironically, a manly virtue. Trump and like-behaving Baby Men lack it.

        Riiiiight because being falsely accused of drugging and raping women should be met with passivity. It’s not who he is... and that is OK for most of the country.

        That’s not my argument. It’s what Brett Kavanaugh just wrote in the Wall Street Journal.

        He also claimed he hadn’t watched Dr. Ford’s testimony. But, you know, he says a lot of stuff.

        There were two things in play: the emotional delivery of his comments and the partisan content of his comments. His fluff-piece editorial only addressed the former. The latter is even more damning.

        Yes, he doesn’t get to have it both ways. He lost it in that testimony, and he can never take it back. Being a husband and father doesn’t give him a pass.

        He knows that he will be tainted on the Court for life, so this is his attempt at forgiveness and redemption, without apologizing for his abusive actions and words.

        He will independently and impartially judge cases brought before him by groups that he believes to be part of a coordinated and well-funded effort to personally destroy him and his family. 🙄
