His reputation and life will never be the same. His life will be permanently in danger because of this. He has lost a job over this. His daughters will face consequences. His wife will face consequences. This will be the first thing mentioned when he dies. There's a certain smugness in the whole notion that having basic human emotions in response to an injustice is itself disqualifying. It's not just you, I know that the final argument made against him was, "Well, we can't prove this, but look, he didn't take his public humiliation with humility. That proves he's not qualified." However, it's a ridiculous standard to put someone up against. |
He gets to be judge in the highest court of the land and people will forget. Heck he wasn't the first judge to be accused of something like this yet people barely remember the other one did anything. His life isn't in danger and you know it, or at least you should. Ford on the other hand couldn't go home even after the senate confirmed him. Nobody gives a shit about his wife and kids and probably won't face much in the years to come.
And that certain smugness? Your side is always screaming "triggered" when the Trump administration does something horrible, but human emotions are only reserved to conservatives it seems. Kavanaugh followed the Trump way of deny deny deny and attack anyone questioning you. The only person who was a smug was Kavanaugh himself when instead of answering questions about drinking he just replied by "have you?". He even had to apologized to her given that her father was a drinker.
