Despicable Me, Me, Me

     What no one else is talking about is Brett Kavanaugh's toxic partisanship that was on full display during Thursday's hearings. He acknowledged his role as a right wing thug in the employ of Ken Starr and portrayed himself as a victim of backlash of unspecified "left wing groups" in supposed retribution for the Clintons. He also showed lots of pity for himself and none for Dr. Ford.
      These, plainly, are not traits that are enviable in a Supreme Court justice. Political partisanship, especially as vitriolic as Kavanaugh's obviously is, should be left outside the front door of the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh's entire demeanor was like a faithful reflection of Trump's, complete with the white Republican male obsession with self-victimhood, anger, bluster and quick to point the finger of blame at non-existent "others" and enemies are all pure Trump. It was screamingly obvious this partisan hack still has a political axe to grind. His 45 minute-long opening statement, if it was given at trial, would've lost the case if delivered before a truly objective, nonpartisan judge.

      Instead of acknowledging that sexual assault, especially on women and children is a national epidemic that should be seriously addressed, instead of acknowledging that something was taken from Blasey Ford that night in Bethesda, all he focused on were what "left wing groups" were trying to take away from him- A seat on the Supreme Court to which he, a right wing white male, believes he's entitled.
