Imagine you were Kavenaugh when you decided to pursue the SC

3. Door number 3...

IMHO, neither of this routes because when he was nominated, in his mind's eye with his view of the world (and more particularly women), if he scoured his past he would see a clean slate.

Not tha he wouldn't see his time in the bedroom with the music turned up, his standing in line, his punch spiking, or his dick-wagging. He's see all that and say "oh yeah - that's cool, no issue here".

Kav's decision making isn't flawed, in fact it's probably pretty f'ing good and logical.

It's that his underlying morals that are flawed. I honestly believe HE believes he did nothing wrong. He's denials and outbursts sound so hollow because he can't understand why others find it wrong. So he doesn't know how to navigate the landscape..he has no idea why he's the target of all this moral outrage so he has no idea how to logic his way out of it.

That's why he's left with that belligerence. It was almost as if he was moments away from standing up screaming at one of the female senators - "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? YOU DON'T GET TO TREAT ME LIKE THIS."

God would that have been a Jack Nicholson "you can't handle the truth" moment.
