In a sane world, this would have been enough to disqualify him on the spot

If Kavanaugh gets confirmed, I will consider him an illegitimate justice, one that has no right to hold the office.  Note that I don't feel that way about Justice Gorsuch, Trump's other appointee.

The only reason to feel that Gorsuch is illegitimate is the way the Republicans stonewalled Obama's pick for the seat with almost a full fucking year.

If we don't get a blue wave in the midterms, I fear we're in for either a continuing downward spiral as the Republicans find more ways to consolidate, followed by a LOT of civil unrest as what they're doing becomes untenable as they decide that it's time to take away what little they've been allowing us to cling to for existence.
