re: #288 Belafon

He will, and as I said, being a resident of Texas, if he were my rep I would still vote for him, because of the alternative. But, being a Democrat, he’s acting exactly like we want Republicans to act, to care more about they way those around them would be affected than the party line.

Which would be fine if there weren’t serious allegations of sexual assault or that display of partisan hackery that he gave at the last hearing. It’d be very easy to say:

While I believe Judge Kavanaugh has the credentials to serve on the Supreme Court, the allegations against him gave me pause. Moreover, Judge Kavanaugh did not show the temperament we have come to expect from Supreme Court Justices, personal attacks of Senators and claims of conspiracies are disqualifying. My hope is that, if his nomination is rejected, the president will nominate another well qualified jurist that could gain near unanimous approval such as Justice Ginsburg and Justice Scalia.
