People who think the system is fundamentally decent and not evil, capricious and obscene are simply those privileged enough to live above the line in which the full intensity of power is not normally directed at them.

The way people reacted to Kavanaugh ranged from full sympathy to horror to unsurprise. The strongest anti- reactions came from those with privilege but less power. The poor and disadvantaged already know everything there is to know about petty and wrathful judges like Kavanaugh.

Powerful people want Kavanagh not because they couldn’t find someone else less offensive to put in. They could have but they won’t. His repulsiveness is a feature, not a bug. There are many other potential candidates who could just as easily have done their bidding (including female candidates) but they’re going to put Kavanaugh in no matter what.

This is what weilding actual political power is all about and this is just a demonstration of how it is exercised.

Definitely not a liar with a drinking problem.

“I went to an all-boys Catholic high school, …I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday at Little Flower, working on my service projects, and friendship – friendship with my fellow classmates, and friendship with the girls from the local all-girls Catholic schools.”

Definitely. Not. A. Liar.

I’m two years older than this guy and my professional opinion is that he looks pretty bad for his age. If that complexion isn’t the result of some pretty heavy drinking then I reckon he must have other health problems.

He really should get those seen to.

And so it was foretold.
