This guy has an anger alcohol problem and he's got to quit blaming anybody else for what he does he should never be on the Supreme Court

I can't wait till JFK Democrats overthrow the rabid global progressive leftists swamp critters in their party and get back to just agreeably disagreeing with our party! Hopefully we can drain some of the same like-minded swamp critters out of our own party as well!

realDonaldTrump cnnbrk FoxNews If there was any doubt abt too much money corruption in US politics the Kavanugh hearings have again Exposed the deep decay t/f changes overdue as 1st step cap terms of both houses conduct such hearings in private to avoid drama division threats

NYTIMES The man & his family have been CRUCIFIED for NOTHING but HATE from the left.I'd be defending my life, integrity, family, & character which has been EXEMPLARY for DECADES of service, with every thing I've got. DAMN RIGHT HE'S ANGRY!Those senators were DESPICABLE! HIMTOO

He is unfit for the job

Not at all.. they're innocent.. nomination and confirmation is dangerously partisan.. Anita Hill is Hillary Siamese.. sore losers

Да это просто розыгрышь, кто-то из путников решил разыграть Ковано.

Washington Post is full of hack opinion writers.

Kavanaugh is a typical spoiled rich kid like Trump. Drunken parties with girls pulling a train who are not going to come forward. They will have to be searched out. But Trump has limited the FBI's investigation to the point it is meaningless.

When I became an attorney & specialized in Constitutional Law, never, ever, would I have foreseen the likes of a nominee like Kavanaugh 4 SCOTUS. realDonaldTrump spoke of 'draining a swamp', shaking up the foundations of our democracy 2 his base. It's come w/lies & injustice

It’s partisan politics on both sides, but the Democrats have gone deep into gutter turning this into an absolute circus.

You’re grasping at straws.

I would hate to be on trial and have him as a judge, he is a crazy man

So disgusting how Feinstein handled this, she should be in jail.

He basically pledged allegiance to the Republican Party in the hearing, not the Constitution!

After his tantrum last week, he should not be anywhere near to the SCOTUS.

Only defending his good name nothing wrong with that!

He showed us he has no self control, and that is exactly what he is being accused of!

Kavanaugh is a lying scumbag, period. Watching him with his, acted out, testimony was nauseating at best. He lied multiple time. He displayed a very poor, if not, not ability to be, non-judgmental on any subject. He allowed his own politics to control what he was going to say.

Just what they want another Drunkin, Womanizing, Anti-Democratic Judge. Why that isnt a judge at all is it. Its all about getting Trump off the hook.

Partisan means party really? No credible evidence so not guilty.. not saying it didn’t happen.

Kudos to American bar association for finally speaking up.

Keep this story to be adapted for the movie screenplay. If Kavanaugh is voted to be on the Supreme Court then it will become a Kangaroo Court manipulated by the Trump government.

Any judge must be impartial, level headed, independent, non-partisan and with high level of integrity....otherwise Courts will lose the trust, the confidence and the hope of the people for justice.

Thinking media had a huge role in that

Kavanaugh blamed Dems for his current lot in life. This shows bias. He showed lack of ability to contain his disdain for the process integral to American Democracy. He has no business bring in the SC

Explore why Ford can’t remember where or when the alleged incident happened! As all victims can’t remember those things!

Beer, beer, beer. What about possible drug use? Seems Democrats want to protect Cavanaugh from having to confront what in his own word could be. Why is this not news? "Skis" = lines of coke speed or other drugs. "Boofing" =anal use of drugs. Young White privileged pass I guess

More like unsubstantiated THIRTY-SIX year allegations and the people who blindly accepted those accusations who created this circus.

The women who were filmed screaming at Arizona Senator Jeff Flake and quickly became a liberal “heroes” were just identified as a Soros plant.

He needs to be dumped. There are more candidates in the US. VoteThemOut2018 VoteBlue Resistance realDonaldTrump pull the plug.

Gorsuch tainted the court. Kavanaugh would complete the contamination / infestation. What more could the Federalist Society and GOP ask for or want?

ONLY Democrats go to this extreme on SCOTUS picks. They have done the same to Bork, Thomas & now Kavanaugh. Do u not think that Conservatives were as disappointed in Ginsberg, Sotomayer or Kagan? Yet many Conservatives voted for them. Dems can't vote for any Conservative judges.

A Judge that clearly hates half of America . The USA has gone to the dogs

Thanks to the asshats in the Democratic Party

Oh geez! Being called a rapist wouldn’t elicit this kind of response. Nahhhh 🙄🙄

Kavanaugh’s rant was partisan. Ignore everything else...if you can or dare. Partisanship alone should keep him off the Supreme Court.

The attitudes he's demonstrating during the hearing is enough to disqualify anyone during a job interview, let alone it's for SCOTUS.

Thursday told me all I need to know about Kavanaugh, Dr. Ford, & Republicans; this, however, is icing on the cake. Republicans sticking by Trump and Kavanaugh are digging their political graves. VoteBlue2018

No, it puts the Sebate Juducuary Committee in the spotlight. Not a single current SPC Justice has said a word, and they should not.

PUT IT THIS WAY KAV IS BLOCKED , BE SURE THE CHAIR NOV 9 WEEKS ? TIME PASSES SO QUICK SEX 40$ short time , IT COST A LOT NOTHING

Is it okay to have an accused sex predator BrettKavanaugh next to teenage girls?

Kavanaugh is prisoner of the Republicans and Trump. His hearing was all biased toward pleasing the boss and the Republican Party. Some would say he lost what was left of his honour as a respectable objective candidate. A real shame!

You know and I know that there is not woman or girl that would leave her best friend in a house with 4 boys...kNOWING....that two of them and just sexually assaulted me and one I thought had inadvertently tired to KILL ME...

What's this "and" shit WaPo? Partisan politics is driving this freak show. Period.

StopKavanaugh

they accused him of being a rapist. his "defiant words" were completely warranted.

USA witnessed the dems coordinated attack against Kavanaugh. As reported & displayed at hearing: Dems met w/Ford 60 days before identifying allegations, leaked to press, put Ford w/resistance law firm, delayed hearing to set-up new false accuser who previously used same law firm.

Wait after midterms. Its only fair if we wait after midterms because it not as partisan as starting it prior to midterms.

What must the present Justices be thinking besides "Oh Shit"?

Total opposite of what Supreme Court demands -

What the Dems and the media are doing to this man and his family is horrible.

Partisan politics has been ruining everything since 2008. These hearings are, in the words of Trump, shitshows. Grown men and women performing for the camera and vying for the worst human being for that day. We need to clean house.

Kavanaugh's angry and petulant testimony has done little to enhance his reputation. If confirmed, the reputation of the Supreme Court will be tarnished and its decisions will always be clouded with doubt.

Rather than keep composure, Kavanaugh and Graham chose to, essentially, throw tantrums. Throw aside politics (which should never enter the SC) and ask who has what to gain... Ford, who has nothing to gain, or Kavanaugh who gets a lifetime job, pay, benefits, and influence.

Let's just stop calling trumps republicans "partisan" making excuses for rabid minded people is inexcusable and only serves to excuse their actions as "honourable" and not what they really are... Stop excusing these horrible people

How does this put SCOTUS in the spotlight? It has no role in the selection of those who sit on its bench. The spotlight is on the White House and the Senate, who DO have a role in the selection, and who, while controlled by the neo-Nazi RepubliKKKans, have utterly failed.

"defiant", not "pooping blubberingly"?

This angry drunken partisan conspiratorial outburst was alcoholism at depth. Red nose, rosy cheeks, belligerent and retaliatory: hallmarks of an unrecovered alcoholic. Us in AA know all of this. realDonaldTrump nominated a drunk sycophant. HE DOES NOT BELONG ON SCOTUS.

CORRECTION: Democrats playing politics put the Supreme Court in an unwelcomed spotlight.

He has major anger issues in addition to his lies and Trump worship. Lord help us all.

The constant lying should immediately render him exempt from contention- how can it not!!

Oh, to hear what the current Justices - Clarence Thomas excepted - think of this. And to know whether they are comfortable with the thought of this man joining then.

He threw a tantrum like a little boy! And he is going to the Supreme court? Wow! God help any case he judges! Oh well you could always give the "child Brett" his beer!

Oh please! Can we please focus on what we know so far and that is Senator Dianne Feinstein worked in the shadows to conspire this whole entire conspiracy against Kavanaugh!

Partisn, angry, entitled Trump sycophant. Lied under oath about "Devil's Triangle" and 'boof". Liars and honest people, that's it. Supreme Court Judge who lies under oath ? No thanks, Trump can fight his way out instead of this "get out of jail free" card

Question If U display Arrogance, Ignorance n Perceived PRIVILEGE in a Job Interview Do U think U Should get the Job? Or humbly say “I’m ashamed to admit that when young I sometimes disrespected women and drank heavily but I never attacked Chrissy and I’m a changed man,”

If Kavanagh gets on SC and he allows this to pass it will let trump pardon state charges! On next month's SCOTUS docket is: Gamble v. U.S., No. 17-646. Issue(s): Whether the Supreme Court should overrule the "separate sovereigns" exception to the double jeopardy clause.

Kavanaugh should not be deciding anyone’s fate on any bench!!!!

Please investigate this

No, too many real Americans understand the media bias. Now will WP continue to non-fruitfully continue the smear, sure. But we all understand ideology

Nope, you, Soros, & the Dems put spotlight on this. Stick to agenda of assessing worthiness, vote, and move on. Unfortunately Me Too movement has taken this country to depths of sewer never seen before - thank you Dems.

His diatribe against liberals makes me doubt he can be impartial.

I wonder what Roberts is thinking at this moment....ahhhhhhhh, shit! It will be HIS court.

I thought Kavanaugh didn't drink on weekdays DelayTheVote. No way SenateDems and HouseDemocrats, FBI and the media don't find mistakes in his testimony. If I can they definitely will, the KavanaughVote is history.

He was angry and showed it. Leftists don’t know how to respond to someone that is outwardly angry towards them. America needs more of this.

Scumbag forgot to mention that they circulated fraud accusations (without any corroboration) from paid actors such as Ford and Ramirez.

no the media and democrats did that, just as they are trying to diminish the executive office. If no one is paying attention, notice that they almost would have it so we lived in little fiefdoms and they were its rulers.

Why doesn’t WP mention how the Dems were so rude and disrespectful to the Judge

The Democrats started this vicious character assault and now their sycophant media pick up the torch..pathetic

The 8 justices probably have the front doors barricaded right now

He needs a 72 hour hold in a mental facility. Also a psyche, therapy and meds. He is so unhinged right now. Wow!!

SenAmyKlobuchar defiant is putting it diplomatically--would he have asked a male senator "did you?" in a hardly respectful tone? What about a judge if he was arguing before him? Did he do that during any other job interview? Not to mention passive aggressive, self pitying

Ivy League Brett is a Major League Spoiled Brat. LifetimeDisappointment KavanaughHearings BelieveSurvivors Kavanaugh FordKavanaugh

Republicans always talk about their appointees interpreting the Constitution but with the nominee’s outburst, you wonder.

Or... perhaps a much needed spotlight.

Wasn't that the intent the WP promoted? Mission accomplished.

The Democratic smear campaign against Judge Kavanaugh is 100% responsible for this

Amid fight over Kavanaugh, annual Red Mass for Supreme Court skips the politicsThe Red Mass celebrates the start of the Supreme Court's term each year. Indeed, it seems that Kavanaugh and members of the Cathlic church have the same kind of tendencies. Now and 36 years ago for that matter! In some circles( and I am just quoting the pope here folks Pontifex) being a cathlic is not means your a person with a clean concious! WaPo outs the Democrats. This is not a search for truth it is a street fight. No more Fake News about Maxine Waters. Rooting out misuse of power will be a hard one. It was hard ages ago and that will not change in the future. If Kavanaugh gets on that bench, well... we do not say more then, right?
