So, we're well past the initial Kavanaugh engagements and I can say one thing- the man's behavior during all of this is enough for me to say he doesn't belong on the US Supreme Court.
I was on the fence, before, but now watching how he's acting and the things he's saying- and most importantly the WAY he is saying them makes me believe he's just not Supreme Court Material.
I have a certain expectation of the people on the highest court of the US. Brett Kavanaugh does not meet those expectations.

@Surasanji While I understand your reaction I also have to say if an entire nation was after me over someone lying with no evidence and i had to deal with a full blown trial that also lacked any shred of evidence, I'd probably be pretty cross too. If there was at least some evidence and some sense of credibility to it all I might agree with ya.

@freemo Oh, he's got *every* right to be angry. Every single right, particularly if we assume that this didn't happen, or didn't happen as described.
Either way, the way he's been treated is pretty trashy and he's got the right to be upset.
But the manner in which you behave given these kinds of stressing events- given this kind of legitimate anger- is very important when you're talking about someone who will be appointed for the rest of their life/career to a position that dictates law and acts as a check and balance to the other two branches of government.
I do not, personally, believe that Brett Kavanaugh has behaved in a way that indicates the maturity and self-control required for a Supreme Court Justice. SCOTUS justices should be the kind of people who think before they speak.
This whole thing is a circus and a shitshow, sure, and wider investigations should be done- but I'm just not feeling that I can trust Kavanaugh to make rational, dispassionate decisions based on just and honest interpretations of the law. His behavior just doesn't feel appropriate to it.
For instance, his interchange between himself and Sen. Amy Klobuchar. That felt childish more so than borne of anger. The whole process has been peppered with little things from Kavanaugh that call in to question (Again, for me and in my opinion) his ability to be a member of the SCOTUS.
