1. If he didn't lose a job then call up Harvard and tell them to un-cancel his class next semester. 2. Kavanaugh wasn't acting as a judge. He was acting as a man accused of a heinous crime. They are not the same thing. You call him smug, but what is really smug is to destroy a man's reputation and then judge him based on his emotional reaction to it. Particularly from the childish bad-faith senators who behaved MUCH worse than him. 3. He didn't know he was getting into the Supreme Court. At the time that he made his statements that was very much an open question. 4. The comparison to a cop committing battery is nonsense. |
I didn't know about the Harvard thing. First things first, this isn't point scoring for me like how your republicans and democrats do it. This is genuinely me thinking of my own country and what sort of person I want in the supreme court. I would want an above average person. That means above average in logic, in reason, in emotion and all other calibres. I would also want an impartial person who does well to keep his biases to his personal life. So when you say anyone would react like that, i'm saying I don't want anyone on any supreme court, I want the best most competent ones. That's what I am saying. If anyone will behave like that, why not just get a run of the mill judge. And he was there in his capacity to show what kind of justice he will be on the supreme court, like it or not. And he knew he would win. I'm not saying this is a republican thing, but in general parties in any country always stick to their man, more so in US these days, so he 99% knew he was a supreme court justice. Only the formalities remained. If you pretend you didn't know that, then I'm sorry but you have a bias whether you know it or not. So all in all what I saw of Brett cavanaugh, I wouldn't vote for him is all I say without any sort of affiliation bias
