You clearly don't know much about SCOTUS history but are intent on making a


complete fool of yourself on the subject.

You really just asked if Kavanaugh is more controversial than Ginsburg, Scalia, Sotomayor, or Kagan?

Unless you were dropped down a flight of stairs in your infancy, the answer to that question should be obvious. He not only is far more "extreme" in his views than any of those Justices were considered when they were up for nomination (as noted several times, Ginsburg was recommended to Clinton by Republican leadership as a moderate; Scalia was not controversial either and Dems were busy opposing Rehnquist; not a single black mark on the records of Sotomayor or Kagan, who only a handful of Republicans voted for)....but HE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTED RAPE. None of those other Justices had anything remotely close to this to explain, and political culture in general was much different.

The comparison here is to Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas, only its 2018 not 1991 and I doubt Joe Biden is going to cut a deal this time that prevents various corroborating witnesses to testify like we had then. Nor is the tolerance level for this stuff anywhere close to the same.

And honestly, if you really believe your last sentence you are in fact an idiot.
