The comments during his testimony Thursday injected a new level of bitter partisanship in an already pitched battle over the future of the Supreme Court.

That’s the key! The judicial system should be non-partisan! How does a judge remain objective if they’re partial or predisposed to do otherwise?

Yes let’s break with the tradition of the Non-partisan Supreme Court. Who are you trying to kid, the Supreme Court has always been partisan, why do you think the Democrats are in a rabid frenzy

Kavanaugh is a very honest Judge unjustly smeared by Dem Party.

A sex maniac.

Exactly correct...he is very biased and filled with contempt. He revealed deep hate for not just a party, but the people it protects.

only dems' judges are considered non- partisan

Oh so the shameless biased hateful lying by the democrats the endless attacks on him and his family don’t risk anything ? Even The shameful way they use Dr Ford

As a judge I have hard time understanding his angry attack on the Senators, you have to think do you want this man on the Supreme Court for a long time.

False accusation - Wikipedia "Additionally, once a false accusation has been made – particularly an emotionally laden one – normal human emotional responses to being falsely accused (such as fear, anger, or denial of the accusation) may be misinterpreted as evidence of guilt."

This is what Trump thinks the face of America should look like another reason why Canadians should tread gently with any deal we attempt to make with the USA🇨🇦1st

How much did Dr. Ford receive to make this accuse?

Trump's bar is so low that even Kavanaugh can get nominated. Americans should be very worried about a Supreme Court with this guy as the swing vote. Hello 1900's!

It's to be expected that the American media would pretend the Supreme Court is non-partisan...but the Canadian media? Thank goodness we now have NatObserver as an alternative

Angry? That’s all what you see after all....? Who wouldn’t?

Privileged angry little boy

G&M, to use “non-partisan” in your title after what the Dems did to this guy to prevent Republican to nominate one of their own tells a lot about your leftist biases!

Goodbye, Globe and Mail!

Yeah, that’s right, it’s Kavanaugh that poses the threat to respected norms. As you suppurating rectums circle the drain of irrelevancy and wonder why revenues down.

If the allegations were false and he were innocent he would have been less passionate, yes?

“Angry attacks” I hope all of you who can’t see past this political hit job have your lives and reputations completely ruined by an allegation that has zero evidence or corroboration behind it. If I’m wrong please highlight the evidence I missed.

Does think Canadians are stupid? Do they not realize that in the 21st century information is freely available? The profiles of everyone involved - including the Democratic activists that bullied Flake in the elevator - are available to anyone who puts in the effort

The president said Dr. Ford was "credible" . Kavanaugh came out swinging. Not so much for the job in my view. He knows he's done. He did it for the honor of his family, so his wife and kid could look him in the eye again.

If he assaulted this women u r absolutely right. If he didnt u r absolutely wrong. We will probably never know. Can u imagine ur anger if u were falsely accused.

Fan of Bill Crosby.

“Traditionally non partisan court”😂.

Yeah my thoughts on this

He’s indignant because his job had been in the bag, had a free ride in because he’s in Trump’s pocket (Debts magically gone) and now he’s suffering indignities to his self importance that weren’t predictable. .....And his political agenda is more apparent than it should be.

Lol...non partisan ...lmao 😂

Globe and Mail this man is falsely being accused of gang rape, he has every right to be angry.

It's just that 's headline is false and misleading. Only once in the 2+ hour hearing did Kavanaugh respond *flippantly to a Dem senator by asking her, in response to persistant questioning if he drank now, if she drank. He then apologized. That's all.

When did the globe and mail just become such utter garbage? Watch out GetWokeGoBroke .

They unfairly have attacked his great record.............is he supposed to be happy?

The Supreme Court has been pretty far from "non-partisan". Even a cursory reading of Scalia's writing would show you that.

Jesus Christ, the amount of people defending Kavanaugh and discrediting Dr. Ford in the replies to this is sickening.

His angry response was warranted as it was a well orchestrated and timed democratic hit job

If you really believe the Supreme Court has been non-partisan while it’s been controlled by the Democrats, you need to see a doctor.

Interesting to note his history, that his original appointment to the appeals court stalled for 3 years because the senators thought he was too partisan

Funny reading all the replies insulting the questioning why anyone would read it, and how they stopped reading years ago, yet they follow and feel compelled to respond to tweets. Most interesting.

You want the Republicans censored as you want censorship in Canada.

WeAreBetterTha1 Least he showed his true colors, he's put on the court to be a partisan hack, he's always had jobs as a partisan hack, just like his father. ... and to save the honor of the Supreme Court this man cannot be seated.

Oh please look what the Democrats did to this man he a right to be angry. More fake biased liberal news.

It's truly eye-opening just how many people are so unempathetic to him. He's been vetted by the FBI 6 times, multiple women have come out in support, he had evidence and she had none. His (and her) life is ruined. Believe evidence, not feelings or gender

He’s been investigated 6 times by the FBI, and will again. Wouldn’t you be mad as hell being accused by this democratic made drama?

Are you serious? How would senior executives react if someone came out of the blue and accused them of sexual assault from over thirty years ago? Bet there would be an angry article or two...

If Dr. Ford and the "other" sexual assault victims who allege that BrettKavanaugh sexually assaulted them, were in fact sexually assaulted, why on God's green earth did not even ONE of them go to the Bethesda police to report him? Today, last week, 2 months ago, 10 years etc...

It is not an attack, but a defense. And no, it poses no risk to the Supreme Court or to America. The Globe and Mail's response is the same sort of poison to which he is correctly responding. It is an error for the Globe to treat its readership as a basket of deplorable fools.

He yelled at Sen, Feinstein. He yelled at a Senator.. He yelled at a lot of senators. He wants to be a judge, a judge in the highest court. Yet, he yelled at Senators. Is he fit for the highest court in the land?

This is a bizarre take on what's going on with this nomination. Why do people read the Globe and Mail?

LOLWHAT. The entire thing is partisan

Seriously Globe and Mail? Angry attack? I think he's the one who's been attacked. I'm so glad I stopped reading your rag 15 years ago.

Ginsburg can basically campaign for the democrats without a peep from the press, but a man is publicly accused of gang rape, and his reaction is what gets your goat.

Oh Canada, Canadians, including journalists, pay too much attention to goings-on in the US; while entertaining, it's essentially a form of escapism

LOL The fig leaf of non-partisanship on the court was torn away with Bush v. Gore. That was a judicial coup.

Indeed, what nerve he had to identify those who were baselessly slandering him for political advantage.

Traditionally non-partisan Supreme Court? When was the last time America had one of those?

But not RBG skipping Republican presidents state of the union addresses. That’s complete non-partisan.

It's not unreasonable to be angry when someone has wrongly accused you of sexual assault, and politicians are using that accuser as a pawn because they're mad at the President.

no, no it doesn't.. just defending himself.. as anyone of us would do, if we feel we have been wronged.

Who are you kidding? Kagan, Ginsberg, sotomayor are in no way non partisan

are you kidding? this is literally the exact opposite of the problem. Good job. Also fire the racist who advocated hanging indigenous peoples

Brett Kavanaugh's Nomination Marks The Death Of The Supreme Court (Blog)To those who say that there was insufficient evidence to convict Kavanaugh of attempted rape in a court of law, that is irrelevant. Satireguy The standard should be "beyond reproach" not "innocent until proven guilty". His confirmation would be a big mistake. If he's confirmed I hope he gets's impeached.
