Kavanaugh Needs To Cut His Loss And....

withdraw his name from nomination. He's humiliated his family and the humiliation won't stop if he's confirmed. He needs to fade into obscurity.

1. He should withdraw his nomination, just to hope to hang on to his current job and not have his kids

I want to see his smirky face go white in front of everyone. Trumpsters will blame dems and call it all unfair, bullying etc... unless they actually see it.

and they will at all cost get him bench! These same people looked the other way on Trump's scandalous ways and his sleazy past!

realistically, I think of diminishing the long term impacts.

8. He's there only because of his goofy notions about how presidents can't be

investigated, subpoenaed or indicted - in other words, to protect Trump. His and his family's lives are being upended because Trump wants someone to save his ass. Even though Kavanaugh deserves an ass-kicking for his behavior, you'd think he'd at least want to spare his wife and kids, if not himself, from any more embarrassing publicity. If it was me I'd say fuck it all, and fuck you too, Trump, and just walk away.

12. He's already pushed all his chips into the pot, in his mind. There's no voluntary backing out now.

Withdrawing is a tacit admission of guilt -- and he'd have to explain that to his wife and kids instead of just BSing them like he is the rest of the country. Also, if he's unworthy of the SCOTUS gig, he's unworthy of his current spot. He's not going to admit THAT. Give up everything and become a nobody, a footnote, a forgettable punch-line? No, he won't do that voluntarily. Better to be Clarence Thomas. Yeah, Thomas is a joke, but he's not a nobody.

He needs to be impeached and prosecuted. Completely destroyed.
