hearing mr kavanaugh testify yesterday afternoon was a revelation. he sounded angry, childish, petulant, beligerent, uncomposed, unthoughtful, and worst of all, entitled. i suspect that is what he is.
those qualities may resonate with mr trump and people like him — including much of the republican old guard, who are themselves largely privileged men used to their eminence, but they are not going to resonate with the majority of americans because those are not the qualities america needs in its elected official representatives of the people, for starters, and they are certainly not the qualities needed to serve those same people on the supreme court, which is the ultimate judicial arbiter and safeguarder of american rights, both collective and individual.
