Since he attempted to rape Dr. Ford

It tells me that wasn't all there was to it.
Abusers don't just try this once.

I'd bet good money he has actually raped a girl or a few.

Kavanaugh's an ass.

Wouldn't it be great if he has to withdraw?

However, Trump won't allow it. He'll force a vote, even if it will fail.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Bye, bye, Judge Kavanaugh.

ETA: Upon reflection, my thoughts above may be a bit unfocused. I blame something I smoked. Sorry if they're a bit disjointed.

The Garza case, where a girl who was pregnant by rape wanted an abortion, shows what a vicious brute he is. He had the power over her body, he thought.

Fortunately, the other judges on the panel accepted that this girl had a right to decide what to do.

They should ask him, in the Senate hearing, "If you'd managed to complete this rape, and your victim got pregnant, would you force her judicially to give birth?"

The GOP knows this guy has a ton of disqualifying behaviors, and they are intentionally trying to seat him regardless.

A GOP WIN is more important than the prestige of our Courts, more important than the future of our Country, more important than the integrity of the Republican Party.

Their win is more important than protecting women and their own rights to their own body. They show their contempt for all women even allowing this guy to be a nominee for this position over all women in this country. It will backfire on them for doing this to women, and to everyone, he's liar and has shown to be corrupt.

While making himself out as a goody two-shoes. That little shit shouldn't be anywhere near a judicial bench, in any court.

Brett Kavanaugh had graphic questions for Bill Clinton about Lewinsky affair
Trump’s supreme court nominee opposed giving Clinton a ‘break’ during 1998 inquiry, according to a newly released memo
The Guardian, August 20, 2018

Brett Kavanaugh “strongly opposed” giving Bill Clinton “any ‘break’” on questions regarding his sexual relationship with the White House intern Monica Lewinsky, according to a memo written by the supreme court nominee in 1998 and released to the public on Monday.
<snip>
Twenty years ago, Kavanaugh was an associate counsel for the independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who was investigating the president. Writing on 15 August 1998, two days before Clinton testified to a grand jury from the White House, he posed 10 suggested questions about the affair with Lewinsky, many of them sexually explicit.

Kavanaugh also said Clinton had “lied to his aides”, “lied to the American people” and “disgraced … the office” with a “sustained propaganda campaign that would make Nixon blush”.

He was “strongly opposed to giving the president any ‘break’ in the questioning regarding the details of the Lewinsky relationship”, he wrote, unless Clinton “resigns” or “confesses perjury”.

He then suggested a list of questions. One was: “If Monica Lewinsky says that you inserted a cigar into her vagina while you were in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?”

Another: “If Monica Lewinsky says that you ejaculated in her mouth on two occasions in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?”

Kavanaugh also suggested asking Clinton “if Monica Lewinsky says that on several occasions in the Oval Office area, you used your fingers to stimulate her vagina and bring her to orgasm, would she be lying?” and “If Monica Lewinsky says that you masturbated into a trashcan in your secretary’s office, would she be lying?”

Kavanaugh urged that it was the function of the independent counsel to “make [Clinton’s] pattern of revolting behavior clear.”

“The idea of going easy on him at the questioning is thus abhorrent to me,” he wrote.

If successful, Kavanaugh will become Trump’s second appointed justice, tilting the court firmly to the right. His confirmation hearing is set to begin on 4 September and the Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has said he wants a floor vote before 1 October.
