      The weird thing about this Kavanaugh situation is the modest stakes — McConnell could just put any random Republican staffer with a JD on the Supreme Court and he’d be equally adept at agreeing with conservative advocacy groups’ amicus briefs as anyone else.

      It's less weird if you also see it as a defense of a way of life, drawing a line in the sand and checking the #metoo movement. That's a real part of the motivation here, because like you say, they can find somebody else easily.

          Exactly. They are standing up for rich white male prep school privilege. Remember that most republicans have exactly the same background as kavanaugh. They're horrified that this could happen to them too. Hopefully this is their Waterloo

          Where I live only a small percentage of angry white republicans come fom a privileged background. There is a pseudo feeling of being screwed by a reverse racism. It is an incredible illogical excuse for one's own failures.

          Even the poor republicans are fighting to preserve their white privilege and their cultural dominance. Yes, even the poor can have a degree of privilege. And they want to keep their place in the pecking order

          It is an absurd view of life, and an absurd view of others. I have no clue when it can get better.

          I think it's more aggressive than that. It's "teaching #MeToo a lesson," making us accept the unacceptable.

          it's odd that they think they can "check" the #metoo movement by putting a rapist on @SCOTUS, which will most certainly and rightfully further embolden the movement.

          The intention is to dishearten women/victims though - to pushback and remind us we don’t matter, we won’t be believed. It’s a proven tactic that has often worked, in many circumstances. It’s not surprising they’re banking on it working again. Let’s hope it doesn’t.

          100 other "qualified" assholes just as anxious to: - decimate Roe - choose big biz over the little guy - trash the environment ...but instead GOP'S doubling down on this asshole. IMHO it's gotta be K's views on prez power & privilege.

          The sexual part of the frat boy way has long long roots in the history of western hierarchy. Think about sons of slave owners and female slaves, or young lords and maids in England. It's all about class and privileged.

          Aren't you forgetting about Kavanaughs stance on limits to presidential power? Its do or die for Trump imo. There aren't nearly as many who're willing to look past Trump's abuses.

          Not denying your point, which may well be true...it just strikes me as a tragic reflection of American culture (sadly consistent with Trumpism)
