It's just a guess, but I think Kavanaugh is going to get raked over the coals for his oddly partisan screed during his hearing and the dubious definitions he gave for pretty well known slang.
I'm inclined to agree with President Carter in that the circumstances around the allegations were an ugly business, but he ultimately failed the stress test with his demeanor. It's in the books now, but it would be nice if in the future the goal returned to trying to achieve near unanimous approval. Unfortunately, I think that horse is out of the barn.
