This is a very nice Twitter thread on big picture of the role of the Senate and the Kavanaugh problem by Poli-Sci professor Jennifer Victor cumulating in a link to her current Vox.com article on topic of Kavanaugh's biases breaking a "fourth wall"; click on the date below to get the full thread:

The US Senate was designed to prevent tyranny of the majority, because James Madison knew majorities get power hungry and can deny some citizens power. But the framers conceived of citizens very narrowly, and were not generally concerned with civil rights. 1/3

So much for hopes some had that his death and the way his life was spoken of might have some near-term positive effects. Not so much, it's looking like at the moment.

What Blake sez happened, sure hope someone recorded it:

Graham just promised to hold open a Supreme Court seat if there’s a death/retirement toward the end of Trunp’s term.

(Am surprised The Hill published this, though! Could get them cut off?)

Edit to add more, agrees with oceankat's stated opinion, but a whole lot rantier:

His ludicrous affectation and faux outrage at the hearings was a moment of beclownment that knows no equal. He is a political careerist and an unequaled sycophant when it comes to finding favor with power. He is a disgrace @LindseyGrahamSC
