My 5 year old is wholly unqualified to be on the Supreme Court. Brett is a sitting federal judge. He has some qualifications.
The problem isn’t his qualifications, it is that he’s a partisan ideologue that has been telling baldfaced lies to the Senate.
If he had come out and said that yeah, of course he was banging chicks left and right in high school and later in his frat I would have respected him slightly. Coming out and telling me that he engaged in all of the dudebro prep school frat boy shenanigans but stayed a virgin even though his calendar was full of hookups with girls and explicit sex acts is just insulting me to my face. I don’t really care how many hookup he had or how much beer he drank in college. I do care about the lies and coverup. I also care about the attempted rape, but that’s a whole other issue.
I think if his nomination does go down it won’t be because of the rape claims (unless the FBI pulls a rabbit out of its hat those are purely he-said she-said and so long ago that the case is ice cold), but because of the lies that we can prove today. The only thing that has a chance to overcome partisanship is senators getting miffed at being lied to.
