History is full of ironies, but one thing that I cannot understand is why the Red Team just did not ditch Kavanaugh and find another right-wing nutjob to be the next SCOTUS associate justice?  Maybe Kavanaugh will take his known imperfections and lies to the SCOTUS, and upon reflection, will have a change of heart about some things??  In realizing that he was not perfect, maybe that will make him into a more compassionate SCOTUS jurist??

No, it's a myth that people are capable of change.

It had to be him because of his views on prosecuting a sitting president. He thinks presidents are above the law.

Once upon a time, I was a mildly rabid Christian fundamentalist, and now, look at me.  I also used to hate LGBTQ people, but now, I am one of them!

Because of the upcoming elections. This controversy is a perfect issue to rally conservative voters around, while also taking some of the attention away from Trumpface.

Yeah... Probably not.

My take is more like 50/50.

I'd like to think I was one of the earlier ones to note the possibility Kavanaugh might be another Souter.

I note Collins made an even better case for it than I did.

Hell, Collins could be on the court at this point, I'd support her.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Brett the Drunk is more likely to be the next Roland Friesler* than the next David Souter.
