New York magazine did a group of short essays on various aspects. Very pointed opening on this one:


Mediocre White Man Falls Apart and Is Promptly Put Back Together
By Heather Havrilesky

Imagine a woman accused of a crime shows up for a Senate hearing and mostly cries and shouts about how persecuted she feels. Imagine she loses her temper several times during her opening statement, and refuses to answer yes or no questions. Imagine she evades follow-up questions by talking about how often she went to her friends’ houses and how good her grades were in high school and college...

A woman who conducted herself in that manner couldn’t get an assistant-manager job at Forever21, let alone on the Supreme Court.

Funny how you can't do anything but mock - presumably because you know that all his bad behavior at the hearings should have automatically disqualified him.

All this talk of an executive order to end birthright citizenship is causing liberals to realize just how royally screwed they are. You did everything you could to destroy a man and his family and the only thing you accomplished was to galvanize his determination against you. Trump may not be able to get rid of birthright citizenship with an EO but the Supreme Court sure can with a single ruling.

Defending himself against trashy Democrats solidified our support for him, you people made sure he would be approved.

They created their own roadblock, you can bet Justice Kavanaugh will remember every name of every democrat responsible for what was done to him and his family. I know I would.

You and the New Yorker are the ones doing the mocking here, presumably because the Spartacuses in the Senate couldn't find any problems with his judicial record (in which he was well respected for his good judicial temperament) and then the witch hunt backfired according to 538 so all you're left with is HE'S A WHITE MALE.
