He also ranted and raved at the confirmation hearings in a completely un-judicious manner, displaying an absolutely appallingly bad temperment- and in a way that would have been completely dismissed as hysterical if he'd been a woman.

100%. Those hearings were his job interview and he completely came unglued. I get that it was difficult. Something that may have happend 30 someodd years ago comes back to haunt you. I'd be frustrated too. But, dude... you've got to keep it together. The appointment is for LIFE and you make decisions that impact hundreds of millions of people for generations. You've got to keep your powder dry. If a woman did that, she'd never get another job again. She'd be ruined.

Can you imagine the Fox News explosion (and an awful lot of mainline media) if KBJ threw a tantrum anything like what we saw from Kavanaugh, when bullies like Cruz and Hawley were accusing her of pro-pedophilia positions, or pointed out the race-baiting?

She is really doing such a remarkable job.

No kidding. She is so calm in the face of Lindsey's hysterical perforance.
