Kavanaugh Vote

The court is going to swing conservative, because the Republicans are appointing a conservative judge, whether it is Kavanaugh or someone else. That is fair, as the court swings back and forth through the decades. It shouldn't always be liberal or conservative. One would ideally hope it was moderate all the time, but it's always going to be leaning one way or the other, at least a bit.

The problem is this particular conservative candidate. Even if you don't believe a word of Dr. Ford's story (or either of the other Kavanaugh accusers)... (for the record, I think you're crazy if you don't, but that's just me), Brett Kavanaugh should never be a Supreme Court justice, based on his behavior in the hearing alone. He was combative, sarcastic and highly partisan.  Trump saying that anyone he put up would have these allegations and issues is ridiculous. There are plenty of candidates who don't have any allegations at all, and who also have a temperament suitable for a Supreme Court justice.

By his own admission, Kavanaugh wouldn't even be allowed to teach anymore, after what has happened in the confirmation hearings. But now, it looks like he'll be a Supreme Court justice.
