Kavanaugh is a typical privileged elitist who believes his entitlement to the Supreme Court ...

is more important than the country, if you don't believe me just ask his victims.

He is exactly the type of person our founding fathers did not want on the Supreme Court or any other court.

A seat came up and a privileged, smarmy little prick was their pick - right up until they found an unsigned memo written by him about no right to privacy in the constitution - he was ENRAGED that they were questioning him about that and other things. Pres Barlett kicked that asshole to the curb.

He is outraged that anyone would question what he believes he got away with and stand in the way of what he believes he is entitled to.

A couple of days ago, someone here mentioned Kavanaugh's wife and daughters, and how humiliated they must feel. Which, sure, could be true. The worst thing, though, is that Kavanaugh doesn't give a tin shit about that. He knows his past, he knows what he's done, and he knows there are witnesses. But he brought out the wife and kiddies one day, and his girls teams the next, to sit behind him and provide props for his good standing in the community.

And he knew it could all fall in at any moment. In fact, he quite probably knew before he asked his guests to sit behind him.

Kavanaugh didn't and doesn't care if they were humiliated. That's not why he choreographed their appearance. His wife, daughters, and various girls were nothing more than stage dressing, not really human beings in their own right. Besides, he's Brett Kavanaugh, scion of a well-to-do family, who attended all the best schools, went to the rowdiest parties, assaulted girls and women with abandon, because that's his world. He has gotten away with it to this point, and the loudest howls from Kavanaugh and his partisans are coming not because he got caught, but because he may be denied the plum, the prize, the pot of gold at the end of his privileged rainbow, that has been promised him his entire life.

That is the tragedy Kavanaugh may mourn; his wife, his daughters, his players? Not a significant factor in his career equation.

Even the way he carried himself when questioned by the Senate

He felt entitled not to answer any direct questions because ... how dare these lowly Senators question a future Supreme Court Justice in this matter.
