Kavanaugh Goes Public In Response to Unprecedented Opposition to his Confirmation
After Heitkamp's and Stevens' rebukes, an Op-Ed piece by Kavanaugh was published in the Wall Street Journal.
In it, Kavanaugh contends:
-- he might have been too emotional in his testimony last Thursday,
-- he was concerned for his wife and children,
-- his high school misbehavior was exaggerated,
-- he will be a different person/judge on the Supreme Court than he was in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday, etc.

As far as I'm concerned, that's just attempted rationalization for the irrational views and words he angrily bellowed in his pre-planned and self-written opening statement. He did not apologize nor did he take responsibility for his own words/actions.
So, I still agree with Senator Heitkamp, Justice Stevens, and the 2,400 law professors of various political backgrounds who have now implored the Senate to reject Judge Kavanaugh for the good of the country and the integrity of the Supreme Court.
