Yeah, that it is little more than question-begging on top of a lot of strained inferences. The author starts by reaching way too hard and doesn't ever reach the "gotcha" moment.

There is not going to be a "gotcha" moment. This was just too darn long ago. If I am looking at this objectively, I couldn't vote against his confirmation just based on the accusations of Dr. Ford. However, Kavanaugh really revealed his partisanship by invoking the Clintons and the 2016 election as a means of his defense. He also showed some petulance by asking Sen. Klobuchar if she had ever been drunk as a means of deflection from her question. He sounded resentful of her question but that was the point of the hearing and relevant; his question to her in response was not. She should have said, "This hearing is to gauge the credibility of an accusation made against YOU, Judge Kavanaugh. Not me!" I can understand being mad if being falsely accused of something on a national stage in front of your family but he just flat out lost his cool and should have been better than that. He is seeking a seat on our highest court, after all.

I don't disagree all together. I certainly wish he'd kept his cool. But I understand his anger and frustration.

Further, there is a conspiracy. It may not be some vast conspiracy that leads up to the Clintons, but there are bad actors who are out to get him by any means necessary. Just look at the Swetnick claims. They are so patently implausible that no one without an axe to grind can possibly take them seriously. Now, the conspiracy may be limited to a scuzzy lawyer and a pathological woman, but it exists nonetheless.

That is conjecture ... there is no evidence that her accusations were motivated by a political agenda. At least not yet... now, I am open to hearing any information that surfaces regarding her motives but you can't dismiss that as an established fact at this point.

There is no instance of him losing his cool on the bench - over 300 rulings. ABA praised his temperament. He was under sustained attack from those on the committee - some of their public statements (eg. calling him a rapist) were so far over the top that I get why he might have been a bit ticked.

His record as a judge is clear.[/QUOTE]

Whether motivated by agenda, malice, or insanity, they are false claims aimed at ruining a man's life.

Not from Klobuchar... I saw that part of it and she was being more than fair with him and asking relevant questions.

When I was a HS Sophomore a Junior jumped me and picked a fight after a basketball game. I got whipped pretty good. I'm 69 and to this day I'm damn well 100% certain who it was. I couldn't name all the boys who were there or whether it was October or January but the who did what is perfectly clear. And no I didn't tell anyone.

seems like you know exactly where it happened so you are way ahead of Dr. Ford

And he acknowledged his respect for her. Judging his bench temperament by these hearings is ignorant.

I would imagine he was in the mood of the moment. He did apologize to her.

If this is a disqualifier I don't even know what to say anymore.

Good job trying to be relevant.

The Swetnick claims can only be considered possible in that she didn't claim that the events occurred on Mars.

Has Avenatti demanded that the FBI talk to his client since the inquiry was officially opened? I know he did when he was pretty sure there wasn't gonna be an investigation.

I wouldn't think of it as a disqualifier but his temperament in that hearing is relevant.

He keeps cat calling Mike Davis in Grassley’s office demanding that they force the FBI to call them. He won’t pick a damn phone up himself.
