Bork was nasty so was Clarence Thomas.

Bork was nastier in that it was based on nothing. Clarence Thomas? Perhaps that was the first of the "me too" movement. At the time, I was shocked that a woman would make a big deal about a guy saying stupid stuff.

I'll repeat myself. Mitch McConnell should do the vote before he allows summer vacation. Don't give the maniacs time to pull a Roy Moore fiasco on him.

Levin means the supporters behind Kavanaugh, pushing for him, not the Democrats opposing him. It was bizarre days before Monday, media pushing for him.

Unfortunately nastiness is a survival skill in Washington, DC in 2018.

Those were and this one will be as well, but the next one if Buzzy or Breyer croak will make all the others look tame as a old ladies Sunday School class ice cream social. The left will truly go bonkers and I predict resort to violence. Obama, Hillary, Buzzy and Breyer made a strategic mistake by not getting these two replaced before obama left office. This was not a tactical but strategic blunder that could destroy 100 years of leftist policies.

If Trump appoints two or three more judges and they are all in the Gorsuch mold then he has taken the judiciary out of the hands of the democrats to make their leftist law. They will then have to actually change hearts and minds and win elections to make their hair brain laws. SCOTUS will not have their backs any longer, let the wailing begin!

I don’t want to click through, but is Levin saying that Kavanaugh’s supporters are nasty?

“I have never seen a campaign for a Supreme Court justice to be nominated as aggressive, as nasty, as ruthless, and as dishonest as the campaign behind Kavanaugh. That’s not to say he wouldn’t make a good justice, but there are questions.”

The campaigns AGAINST Bork and Thomas were nasty, yes. But I took “behind Kavanaugh” = “IN FAVOR OF Kavanaugh.” Levin is saying that his supporters may be right, but there are these questions that his supporters are trying to gloss over.
