Because what? You think an emotionless robot, who reacts in a completely inhuman, unnatural way to being accused of being a RAPIST, is somehow desirable? Tell me how calm YOU would have been in the same position.
Btw, anyone who thinks judges don't routinely get pissy, bad-tempered, and downright angry has never actually met a judge, and is talking out of his ass.
Calm is not the problem. The problem was the asinine shit that he did say as well as waffling all over the place about who he actually was as a kid. If he would have stood up and simply stated that he was a drinker and liked to party then I would have had respect for that. Instead he tried to play the choir boy in school and I that does not pass muster.
Also, the BS he was pulling with the call for the FBI investigation was BS as well. He should have simply stated no because the extra time dragging his name through the mud. What is so hard about simply stating the truth rather than avoiding the question entirely.
Either you want a fighter or you don't but Kav did not display that he was a fighter there like many on the right are stating - all I seen was someone acting like the traditional lying politician. I don't want another politician on the court - I want someone that is straight forward and that I think will fight for what is RIGHT rather than play word games to pander. I got NOTHING of that from his statements. i would have preferred him to just tell the committee that he was not going to play ball because he felt it was a character assassination attempt and then answered no questions at all. At least then he would not have come off as a slimy politician.
