The excuse on which some senators and the Washington Post editorial board are settling to oppose Brett Kavanaugh is that he was too angry in his Senate testimony last week.

This is an excuse, because like so many lines of attack by Kavanaugh's opponents in politics and the press, we know for a fact that they would attack him either way. Recall conservative-turned-liberal Bruce Bartlett back right after the charges hit the press:

    If Kavanaugh is in fact innocent, wouldn't it be natural for him to be angry? Isn't his lack of anger suggestive of the truth of the accusations? https://t.co/MQtRWT84La

And if he was visibly angry, that would have been said to be evidence of his guilt of the bogus charges.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
