The silliest part about all of this was how unimportant it all was.
Once Kavanaugh was confirmed, the coward John Roberts just stopped pretending to be a conservative, and went full leftist, to counteract even the mild rightward tilt of Kav compared to Kennedy. It was still a 5 vote leftist court.
Besides, I'm still not convinced that Kav will ever be the deciding vote on anything that actually matters to the Left - abortion (the most holy of all constitutional rights according to them), guns, illegal aliens or the dead voting, etc. I look at him, and see someone who spent his whole life ingrating himself into the DC ruling class. That's why he was so shocked and hurt that after a lifetime of being one of the club, they turned on him at a moment's notice during his hearing.
But that's been a few years, lots of dinner parties and social events since then. Can he stand up to the fury of the ruling class, who will send hate and vileness towards him, his wife, and his children, with a SC ruling that goes against their wishes? Or will he weasel out via standing, mootness, sending the case back to a lower court, and other cowardly methods?
I'm betting on him being a coward. Hope I'm wrong.
