This is actually much more interesting to me than the teen assault issue. I understand why many women are upset about that and how it ties into MeToo, etc., and am sympathetic of course. However, theoretically, as crime, I wonder how applicable it is to apply a standard of what people did as a youth. (Think of our own judicial standard, it is often to offer some kind of redemption in erasing records of minors)

My point: So make it a theoretical  agreement that this was used as a sort of perjury trap, just like the whole Bill Clinton perjury trap. How did he react? Terribly, horribly, with bad temperament for someone who wants to be a Supreme Court judge.

Maybe not as bad for a president to act this way? I mean angry and wanting to lash out. Why do some of us feel that this wouldn't be unnatural for a president but is inappropriate for a judge? Because it is political. Feinstein pegs it well, she's never seen a judge act so blatantly political.  At minimum, they have to be good at pretending they are not political, that's just what most people expect in behavior.

This came to mind after reading that Trump was thrilled with the performance after being worried that Kavanaugh was a goner after seeing Ford's testimony.

Makes me wish some pollster would ask Trump fans: would Trump make a good judge? I am guessing many of them would say no. That maybe what they like in a president they wouldn't like to see in a judge.

Not as important as Feinstein saying it, but the wording of this version looks pretty popular on twitter:

God, that's disgusting. I just threw a drink at my computer.
