I can’t help but wonder about Kavanaugh’s health issues. While he’s physically healthier than retired Justice Kennedy and Antonin Scalia was before he flatlined, I can’t help but think about his partying days at prep school and Yale and compare his behavior to the late, unlamented Andrew Breitbart. Has he sobered up yet and is he acting like the model magistrate that, um, “speakers of the truth” like Messrs Trump, McConnel, and Pence say he is? Or will he act out? And if he does act out, will it be very low-key or a spectacular flame-out?

(I’m hoping for a Wilbur Mills level flameout myself)
