Actually, I don't think an investigation is needed...

... to demonstrate that Kavanaugh is not worthy of confirmation. No matter what happened 36 years ago, we know for sure that today, in 2018, he is a self-pitying petty liar who has utter contempt for the intelligence of the American people. How could he possibly think it was a good idea to lie about his yearbook? It should be sufficient that his current self makes people's skin crawl to disqualify him from the supreme court.

Even if you remove the reprehensible behavior in these allegations (which I completely believe to be true), there is a laundry list of other issues that make him completely unsuitable for the bench. From traffic court to the Supreme Court. He's not fit to pass judgment on other people.

...the financial irregularities, the Justice Kennedy matter, and so on.

The fact that all our side had to go on was one woman's word yesterday is pretty pathetic.

And of course he lied about even larger things

His temperament was what I thought disqualified him for the court. Really any court.

I believe Dr. Ford. She painted the picture of the frat boy and Kavenaugh showed up as the angry frat boy!
