That is the first time we have had a nominee in a judiciary hearing invoking the resentment of a political party. It was more in line with what a politician would say; rather than a judge.
How is it obvious? I don't see how anything can be concluded based on what's been said so far. Most of the comments posted here are done through the typical partisan lens which include standard party resentments. The one really disappointing thing, regardless of how this turns out, is that the Supreme Court will now be infected with openly partisan justices whose rulings will be made from what they see as their party affiliations. I can't believe Kavanaugh invoked the 2016 election in his defense. That was a crass display.
Read what I said... (in a judiciary hearing)
He obviously thought this thing was partisan. Graham fed that perception. It's the Democrats dragging him through this, naming him an evil rapist, and lauding her as a hero.There is no evidence that Ford's motivation for her allegations was made through a political agenda. She was not the one discussing politics, he was.

Perhaps Ford's motivations ARE as pure as the driven snow... which is quite a stretch considering she's an academic in California. But regardless of her motives, wittingly or not she has become a pawn of the political Left and been used in a no-holds-barred attempt to destroy this man's reputation in order to deny him that seat on the court.There is no evidence that Ford's motivation for her allegations was made through a political agenda.

Nothing you have said speaks to her credibility or suggests that she has a politically motivated agenda. I'm talking about Ford, not Feinstein or any other Democrat.He obviously thought this thing was partisan. Graham fed that perception.

Whether you started it, you drummed it up, poured gas on him and three sparklers at him.
You deny that?
He's trying to create an excused for his partisan hackery. We know many things about him. That he's a partisan hack. That his morals are as fluid as they need to be. And that he overuses the words rational and reasonable while having no ability to be either.You idiots keep trying to sell that narrative to lower the standard of proof. And we’re still not buying it.
