This is not a jury trial
This is a job interview for a seat on the Supreme Court
Kavanaugh has not more inherent right to that position than any other qualified nominee--
The Senate has the right and obligation to choose the BEST MAN--and a man is a compilation of all his parts--his past, his present, and indeed--his future acts...
Kavanaugh has lied under oath before --
I imagine he will do it again Thursday if he gives his testimony then
Because I guarantee he is going to be asked some very probing and sensitive questions about his behavior as a young man at Georgetown Prep and Yale and maybe even about how he chooses his law clerks...
He opened himself up by his claims of sainthood on the Fox show--
And as a jurist he should know that once the defense broaches new territory, the prosecution can ask questions about it...
He should not have done the show
He didn't really want to from what I heard especially because they wanted his wife there
but he wanted to please the WH that was pushing him to create a pro-Kavanaugh impression to "the base"
And the woman who went to bat for Roger Ailes went to bat for Kavanaugh and served up some nice easy lobs that allowed Kavanaugh to paint himself as like the second coming of Christ
Definitely not the boy he portrayed in his yearbook--definitely not the friend Mark Judge portrayed inn his two books--his "Barf O'Kavanaugh" buddy...
And not the guy that Yale classmates remember...
