Yes, it would be nice if our next Supreme Court justice wasn’t an alcoholic incel, but the fact is that Roe vs. Wade was doomed the second Comey hit “Send”. Reversing Roe vs. Wade is what it has been about for Republicans for decades. It’s why they tolerated Bush being manipulated by Cheney and Rumsfeld, it’s why they tolerated Trump being Trump. So even if Kavanagh had gotten voted down, they would have dug up another Republican rubber stamper who wasn’t a compulsive liar (see Gorsuch, Neil) and confirmed him (assuming [ha ha] that it was a “him”). This is just too important to their donors, and Republicans clearly are willing to risk everything, including their own re-election hopes, to get this star on their heavenly crown.
