Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified judges to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court. He has years of judicial experience in several courts. He clerked for a Supreme Court Justice. He had over 300 judicial decisions that were available for scrutiny. The ABA gave him their highest rating. I like what has been described as his judicial philosophy: Constitutionalist, original intent - NOT “living” and relying on other countries’ documents and popular culture.
The anger. He showed no anger until yesterday’s hearing. I would be angry, too, at this point. I cannot imagine what he and his family feel like now at the prospect of another week of this!
Dr. Ford’s testimony. She seems to have many issues. She fears flying but flies frequently on business and pleasure. I know she claims this happened when she was 15, but according to her story, she wasn’t raped. Her level of emotional trauma seems overblown to me. Possibly something else happening to her before or since then. ( I had my own near- rape experience). Not one of the people who she said were there backs her story.
The Democrats. They have behaved horribly from well before Kavanaugh was even nominated. They were going to oppose anyone that this President nominated. Di-Fi should have turned Dr. Ford’s letter over to Grassley in July. A full FBI investigation could have been done confidentially before the hearings began. She never asked Kavanaugh about the accusation even in her private meeting with him. Then as the hearings close and they are ready to vote she brings it up. Sure stinks of delay tactics! Then we need another week before Miss I-fear-flying who also wasn’t aware that the committee offered to come to her, can testify. Why did she take a lie detector test in August if she wasn’t planning on going public? Now we have another delay. Face it, the Democrats will not be happy about this no matter how long or how thorough the investigation is. BTW, they could have been investigating this past week like the Republicans were. They did not.
I keep thinking about what Harry Reid said during a TV interview after Romney lost. He was asked about the lie he told saying with certainty that Romney had not paid taxes in 10 years. Reid’s reply was “He lost, didn’t he?!” The Democrat party has been that party ever since.

I watched an ad for a panel discussion of the Kavanaugh hearing on channel 10 (local CBS). It was fawningly pro-Ford, anti-Kavanaugh. Now that was just the ad, perhaps the total show is more balanced, but you can see which viewers it was attempting to attract.
