@Versy "Can Kavenaugh be impartial after this political hit job?"It has now become moot because his outright unashamedly Jekyll/Hyde faux poutraged 'mr angry' display at the hearings just highlighted his already well known misogynistic and manifest unfitness to adjudicate without partisan politics. Especially in this volatile clime when someone stuck in the outmoded past of female suppression, abuse and denial of opportunities, has been set up as the decisive vote by a cunning anti democratic deceitful GOP, who only govern due to gerrymandering and non proportional representation in the Senate.
When Roe vs Wade comes up which it will inevitably do sooner rather than later, this is the sort of snotty nose virgin who hung around the big dogs but in reality was just an angry, woman-hating (because of his obvious insecurity) prIck who will be allow yet more subjugation of women, and this at a time when Ireland has just overturned their abortion laws.
So they blocked Merrick Garland who Obama put up precisely because he was seen as non partisan and would be sure to get approval, but soon to be dead Mitch's legacy will live on long after he's rotted away.
Worst of all is that Bannon will be in orgasmic delight while he watches the political branch whip the judicial branch into line, which throwing a good dose of chaos and unnecessary demeaning of the traditions of government. Meaning in the future, the bar has been set.
I would hope that next full elections the Dems have enough majority in both houses, and the will to undo this damage done to the Supreme Court by stacking the Court as it now is surely time to do. They can appoint another 4 judges making a total of 13. And the Supreme Court is definitely a place where women should be given equal representation. It can not be in govt, but it needs to be in this institution.
Furthermore it's virtually now 100% certainty that sometime during Kavanaugh's reign he'll be outed for lying under oat, which would be an untenable situation for a lifetime judge. There are plenty of other partisan judges who the GOP could push through without any hassle given their current majority, but no, they really want this asshat.
Not matter what the GOP decide (and we already knew that before the hearing) they are going to have to come to the realisation that it's not going to install Bretty.
