Brett Kavanaugh has showed he doesn’t have the credibility or the temperament to be on the Supreme Court—and Democrats are saying it out loud.
“We all saw something about Judge Kavanaugh’s temperament and character that day that should disqualify him from serving on the Supreme Court of the United States,” Ms. Hirono said. “He was angry. He was belligerent. He was partisan. He went on the attack against senators questioning him. These are not qualities we look for in a Supreme Court justice, or a judge for that matter.”
We expect Mazie Hirono to kick ass, though. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer can’t be counted on in the same way, but this time he’s right there, too.
“The issues of credibility and temperament are not something that happened 30 years ago; they’re about Judge Kavanaugh today and how he is as a 53-year-old,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, said in an interview on Monday, giving a hint of the Democrats’ strategy. “I think there are serious questions about both his credibility and his temperament that may, to some senators, be more important than the activities that occurred in high school.”
“The harsh fact of the matter is that we have mounting evidence that Judge Kavanaugh is just not credible,” Schumer also said. It’s kind of a Denali of evidence at this point, but he’s not wrong. It continues to mount. Republicans, though, are trying to suppress that mountain of evidence to Kavanaugh’s perjury, partisanship, and violent temper, and if they can’t suppress it, just plain ignore it. They want their boy, regardless of how many lies he tells and how many sexual assaults are in his past.
