Caught-On-Camera: Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh Gets Bristled

There's something about a single image  that says more than a thousand words, especially when the occasion is the high-stake outcome for a lifetime appointment to the Highest Court in the land. No doubt Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been coached, groomed  and rehearsed for facing questions - the purple tie (not blue/not red] and in the background at televised hearings all week: the family.
But does this guy demonstrate the cool composure expected  of a Supreme Court Justice?

The Judge Pryor controversy around Brett Kavanaugh, explained

Democrats say that Kavanaugh lied in a past confirmation hearing.

Senate Democrats think they have caught Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in a lie about his involvement in the nomination of a controversial anti-Roe v. Wade judge.

In 2004, Kavanaugh said he did not “personally” handle the nomination of Judge William Pryor, who currently sits on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers Alabama, Georgia, and Florida) and was on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist. Pryor, a conservative George W. Bush judicial nominee, is somewhat of a liberal bogeyman, famously calling Roe v. Wade, the legal right to abortion, ”the worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.”

For three days, Senate Democrats have been trying to poke holes in Kavanaugh’s seemingly squeaky clean record, and highlight areas that he could be perceived as an extreme conservative judge on, including abortion rights. Democrats have also been arguing that we don’t know enough about Kavanaugh’s record and don’t have enough documents to paint a full picture of his past
