61. Says a lot about Kavanaugh and his unfitness

Tue Sep 4, 2018, 04:59 PM

Sep 2018

to defend the people and Constitution of the US.

My interpretation of the encounter:

Kavanaugh: "Who is this plebeian and why does he consider himself worthy to shake my hand? I don't recognize him, so he obviously isn't important and therefore can not do anything for me or my masters. He's probably going to whine about the ACA or women's rights to their own bodies or something else unimportant. Eewww - I almost got poor person cooties! McConnell didn't tell me I'd actually have to come in contact with a non-rich person."

For someone of Kavanaugh's relgiousity, he seems to have forgotten what Jesus said about how one treats the least of people is how they treat him. More than his stated opinions or his writings this encounter tells me he's not fit to be on any court, much less the highest one.
