People want to excuse his behavior last Thursday and say, well, he was accused of this that and the other thing. It's only right that he respond the way he did.
Ford was sexually assaulted. She testified calmly, bravely and like a mature adult. He did not. If he was worth his salt as a judge, he blew it that day with many people because of how he behaved. He threw any shred of dignity he had out the window when he attacked everyone who wasn't a republican, showing that he is not fit to serve because he cannot be impartial.
It would have been nice to see him respond differently, more mature maybe. And I think that how he responded has been a key issue for many people here. It is one of the reasons why many don't think he's fit to serve. And this is sad because instead of being looked at for his judicial record, he's being looked at for how he has acted this last week. He really dug his own grave on this. His last minute op-ed is just simply a last ditch effort to save face, really.
I don't see justifiable anger as a bad trait at all. Has anybody brought up any instances of uncontrolled behavior on the bench in his career as a judge? Maybe if we could see a pattern of such behavior it should be considered.
It would make too much sense for these guys.... they prefer over emotional drama!
