I don't have cable.

There was a split screen when Graham was blasting the Dems and defending Kavanaugh. The expression on his face! Like a smug little brother watching his older brother catch it from Mom! He put his chin up in the air with a clear smirk! NYAH NYAH!!

This entitled little creep is going to be on the Bench?? He does NOT have a judicial temperament. Setting aside everything else.

Way back, could not stand "no", by anyone. He would instantly mark then as enemies and plot revenge, to the 10th degree.

He's gotta have learned that from his daddy. Shame no one has done a history about him.
I think that attitude got reinforced over and over as he moved around in the big money bubble.

I totally think he is also a whiskey guy.
I remember hearing most of my life about drunks, from/about the men in my family,.

A common phrase was " Long as he stays on beer he is mostly all right, but if he drinks whiskey he becomes MEAN !!!!"

....I'm actually surprised that none of the Democrats, after he went on Fox and all but claimed he was a choirboy, didn't ask him why three weekends in a row he noted "grounded" on his calendar.

Choir boys don't need to be grounded.

Each time he appeared before the committee he first made sure the sign was just right. If you watch video of that, take note of the look on his face as he fondles his name-plate.

tRump does the same with anything in front of him as he sits down at a table or desk...he automatically shifts things around to suit his comfort level.

I'm wondering if it's a sign of control.

If their lives get destroyed when they are caught, it's nobodies fault but theirs.

And don't act so surprised that the us senate is a political body. That's what it does.

Him, Gorsuch, and some of the other justices lived in a narrow envelope of country clubs, sports teams, and promotions. Like most R lawmakers, he knows nothing of the world. There should not be a pipeline from prep school to SCOTUS.
