Awwww... Kavanaugh is crying....
Nice show he's putting on for the committee. Bet the WLB told him to do that.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Trump mocks him for crying!

He needs to blow his nose. It's annoying to hear him sniffle after every sentence.

His tantrum today should disqualify him if the GOP had any sense of intelligence or integrity. Forget about the assault allegations (which I believe happened) - the guy clearly lacks emotional control, and has essentially removed any sense of impartiality he needs to actually be a member of the SCOTUS. He's a dumpster fire of a candidate, and it doesn't make sense that the GOP is fighting so hard for this particular guy.
The question, I guess, are there any potential male (because conservatives want to get rid of abortion) candidates that don't have similar skeletons in their closets? Seems like the trend is if you're rich, white, and privileged, you've done heinous shit.

Eh. The histrionics may be genuine. He's in a tough spot. But that shouldn't acquit him of the charges.

There's no charges. This is a hearing, not a trial. It's, essentially, part of a glorified job interview. So, yeah, demeanor counts. He's trying to make himself appealing to those with the power to give him the job he wants.

I wasn't suggesting it was. What counts is the credibility of the charges made against him, as he has denied them, and if his denials are not credible but the charges are, that disqualifies him for the supreme court. His emotional state may speak to his credibility, but not conclusively. Otherwise, mere regret would be an effective denial.

The histrionics is totally unnecessary. Ford held herself together much better than this and she's the one who got assaulted. He is totally acting like a victim here.
"My family's been destroyed by this, Senator".
Really? What about Ford and her family being destroyed? What about what she's had to live with for the last 35 years? The death threats to her family?
Guess none of that matters when you're rich, white, republican and the owner of a peen.
