District
of Columbia Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who is Trump’s
second nominee to the Supreme Court, is unlike Trump in that he is a Yale-educated career Republican who is unflaggingly polite to those he considers his social peers.
He is a lot like Trump in that he is so
comprehensively awful that it’s hard to pick a line of attack, and
so shamelessly dishonest that it’s painful to watch someone try to
pin him down on any of it.
But now he’s dangerously close to a lifetime appointment to the most powerful court in the country, so we have to get our bearings on at least a few of the most important ways in which he is awful.
This isn’t going to be fun reading, so just keep in mind that it’s not too late. Yet.
