Kavanaugh and Kava-NOPE

I know many ppl from college who drank too much, blacked out, and made bad decisions. Some of these people are good souls. And yet none of them deserve to be on the Supreme Court. I don't think I'm ruining their lives by stating this. It's not anyone's 'right' to have a lifetime appointment to a job that changes the legal makeup of America. A Supreme Court justice befits ppl who are boring. Legal minds, nerds, chess club members. The Supreme Court is not for frat boys who try to get into bar fights with 80s bands or sports mascots. Also no 'bros who sexually assault women in any way, or lie repeatedly about their past. Blacking out, spending weeks barfing from beer, starting bar fights, assaulting women, a history of HUGE debts that magically disappear, and doing regrettable things while inebriated pretty much means you don't have the emotional and psychological makeup for judicious thought. But guess what? I don't have the metabolism to be a prima ballerina. And yet, I manage to live a fulfilling life. If you do NOT have the temperament to be on the Supreme Court, the world still has options for you. You can do a lot of cool stuff like make jewelry, become a bookie in Las Vegas, build model planes, or run a sweet lil' bohemian coffee shop with a kombucha tap. You can even run for public office, b/c -unlike like a Supreme Court appointment- we get to vote your drunk-ass out if you start acting up. But no lifetime, forever-and-day appointments that affect the very foundation of civilization for you, Mr. Drunk Rapey Fists. And yet, the overwhelming majority of GOP Senators are looking at these facts and thinking 'hmmm, I don't know. This is a tricky predicament.' But, in fact, it is not tricky at all. To repeat: multiple claims of sexual assault, gambling debts, fighting, extreme drunkenness, and repeatedly lying under oath are the opposite traits of a good judge. This is not a radical thought. This is common sense.
