    Quoting  :

I base mine on his being a drunk.

His rant in front of the senate committee demonstrated that amply.

Mark Judge is not hiding the fact that he is in recovery. Drinking, debauchery and frat parties!!! Is that a surprise? What do you expect, Tea and biscuit?

Abracadabra

    Quoting  :

How can you say that...and still be taken seriously...when you have Ms. Ford tried and condemned as guilty?
All you are saying here is that it's ok to condemn her...but not him. You are, in fact, denying her human rights, simply because you are biased and don't want to believe her.

That's your idea of Christian Justice?

From a friend and supporter of Kavanaugh.

Benjamin Wittes
Editor in chief of Lawfare and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution

Kavanaugh, needless to say, did not take my advice. He stayed in, and he delivered on Thursday, by way of defense, a howl of rage. He went on the attack not against Ford—for that we can be grateful—but against Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and beyond. His opening statement was an unprecedentedly partisan outburst of emotion from a would-be justice. I do not begrudge him the emotion, even the anger. He has been through a kind of hell that would leave any person gasping for air. But I cannot condone the partisanship—which was raw, undisguised, naked, and conspiratorial—from someone who asks for public faith as a dispassionate and impartial judicial actor. His performance was wholly inconsistent with the conduct we should expect from a member of the judiciary.

Consider the judicial function as described by Kavanaugh himself at his first hearing. That Brett Kavanaugh described a “good judge [as] an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy.” That Brett Kavanaugh reminded us that “the Supreme Court must never be viewed as a partisan institution. The justices on the Supreme Court do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. They do not caucus in separate rooms.”

A very different Brett Kavanaugh showed up to Thursday’s hearing. This one accused the Democratic members of the committee of a “grotesque and coordinated character assassination,” saying that they had “replaced advice and consent with search and destroy.” After rightly criticizing “the behavior of several of the Democratic members of this committee at [his] hearing a few weeks ago [as] an embarrassment,” this Brett Kavanaugh veered off into full-throated conspiracy in a fashion that made entirely clear that he knew which room he caucused in:

"When I did at least okay enough at the hearings that it looked like I might actually get confirmed, a new tactic was needed.

Some of you were lying in wait and had it ready. This first allegation was held in secret for weeks by a Democratic member of this committee, and by staff. It would be needed only if you couldn’t take me out on the merits.

When it was needed, this allegation was unleashed and publicly deployed over Dr. Ford’s wishes. And then—and then as no doubt was expected, if not planned—came a long series of false last-minute smears designed to scare me and drive me out of the process before any hearing occurred."

He went on: “This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.”

When asked if he was the Burt O'Kavenaugh in Mark Judge's book, he evaded the question with non answers......then when asked very firmly, he said, "You'll have to ask him".........Now a letter from Kavenaugh has come to light....written in high-school, to his drinking buddies.....he was delayed going to the big party because he had just returned from Ireland with his family.......signed Bart..........He skirted perjury through his whole testimony......being a judge, it's probably second nature.
