Judge Kavanaugh’s stunning decision to pen an op-ed bluntly confirms he has neither the judgment nor the temperament to be on our highest court. He can’t erase blaming credible sexual assault allegations ‘on the Clintons,’ attacks on senators, and vows of revenge with an op-ed.

1. Yep. Next stop Fox and Friends, Morning Joe, GMA, and Hannity

What a fucking joke.

Why not just join Trump at his rallies?

[Stallion]

2. Fox News Interview was a Disaster

flushed out witnesses to establish what a liar he is

[miss-nasty]

3. Yes, this

This was my first thought. Not the sharpest tool in the shed!

[shanny]

4. He clearly knows he has shit to try to explain

in his demeanor and temperament, if nothing else.

5. Me thinks Rapey Bart doth protest too much.

[BigmanPigman]

8. Oh, yes, he sure does.

He is not fit for SCOTUS or to clean the bottom of a fish tank (a shark tank though...YES, be my guest).

[George II]

11. How about a piranha tank?

[BigmanPigman]

17. Better yet!

I like how your mind works!

[torius]

6. It's like sorry I hit you,

I was the victim, of course, but I may have overreacted. Here are some flowers. It won’t happen again, my dear America, I promise. Wear some makeup over that shiner!

[elleng]

9. Someone(s) told him he should do this, imo,

maybe his wife. His stridency got to more than us.

[Lucinda]

14. Definite sign he doesn't think it's in the bag

[DallasNE]

19. Make No Mistake

This was completely vetted by the WH. Perhaps even penned by them - the wording doesn't fit his writing style.

12. Here is a link to the column that Sen. Patrick Leahy is talking about...Wall Street Journal

This is the entire column, published October 4, at 7:30 ET...I read most of it...sorry couldn't read any more
I certainly hope that this stupid action of writing this column and getting it published, now after the hearing, and before the vote.... denies him appointment to the Supreme Court. You can read it if you desire. warning:...It could make you puke. it is disgusting....

33. "Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been..."

"Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career."

Well yeah, that seems clear enough.

Yay, freedom! (for corporations to do whatever the hell they want, regardless of detrimental impacts on America citizens)

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Uh, aren't judges/justices supposed to be impartial??

[Stuart G]

16. I read part of the column...that is what he claims...but

writing that column and getting it published is proof that he is NOT impartial..

Also, proof that he cannot shut up...just like someone else...

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Just his testimony proved he's not impartial

He pretty much swore his allegiance to Trump - definite breach of separation of powers. And that's not even getting into the temperament necessary for deciding the law of the land. He ranted and railed at his job interview - insulted the interviewers and was anything but "sober as a judge."

20. As Someone Who Has Taken Liberty With The Truth

Why would anybody believe this is not just once again.taking liberty with the truth. This is how it works when once burned. Like George Bush 43 once said "fool me once, can't fool me again". (Are you paying attention Sen. COLLI.NS.

25. and he wrote this himself! without showing it to others!

boof hoo hoo

[DesertRat]

30. It reminds me of every abusive man who begs forgiveness

Too late, Brett!

[peekaloo]

31. Exactly.

I thought your Obama gif read "Don't Boof, Vote"......my brain has a boof worm

[DesertRat]

32. Lol!

[donkeypoofed]

23. I like Senator Leahy.

He's a good man.

[Totally Tunsie]

24. KavaNO sounds like a lovesick teenage girl

trying to manipulate her out-the-door leaving boyfriend. He's just a'playin' on the nation's heartstrings, people. What a f*n disaster, and a ninny to boot. Loser.

[RobinA]

26. He Fails To Understand

that it is not "emotion" that is the problem, it's the bullying. He showed himself to be the kind of guy who could do what he is accused of. Every woman who knew a Kavanaugh or three saw that person(s) in his performance. And then to drag his family into the fray as an excuse for being a bully... Yuck.

[Tipperary]

27. I just read it.

This man is some seriously effed up.

[lunasun]

28. Good Morning! Call the senators again! Not over yet. Kav knows that

[Thrill]

29. I think it proves he wants it too bad. And I think that's even more
