How Getting Killed By An Orca Is Like An NFL Punt Return

Allow me to be blunt: Judge Brett Kavanaugh lied about the SeaWorld case during his Senate confirmation testimony last week and showed very little understanding of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

That Kavanaugh is a great girls basketball coach in the crime-ridden streets of Bethesda, as underscored at the hearings, probably won’t make much difference in a confirmation vote.

I can’t figure out how the lies in Kavanaugh’s testimony or his legal misunderstanding of the OSHA act would get a passing grade in the first year of law school, much less a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court of the United States.

In case you’re just tuning in, in 2013 SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau died from dismemberment by a killer whale during a live show in front of hundreds of horrified customers, including small children.
