  You're bringing up a different pair of shoes.  That's not the same as what's happening here, Argus.

Democrats have been calling him names even before there was the hearing!  They've trampled his right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty! 

Hardly unusual in these sorts of hearings. Did he expect things to go smoothly given the Republicans blocked what should have been their supreme court nominee for almost a year so they could make it instead? That's on top of the Republicans refusing to even begin hearings on ANY federal court nominees until the Democrats changed the rules to require a straight 50/50 vote. Clarence Thomas went through something not dissimilar and he didn't start snarling and snapping and crying.

I don't really know what happened with Clarence Thomas.  Was he called "evil"  by others before the hearings?  Was he treated like he's guilty?

You don't see me comparing Ford with those two women who accused Gomeshi, do you?

Even so......Kavanaugh isn't Thomas, and Thomas isn't Kavanaugh.   I don't think they're clones.
