Brett Kavanaugh's hearings are a national disaster

Witness how the confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh started as cheap theater and ended in bloodsport.

Friday's agreement to give the FBI a week to supplement its background check by looking into existing misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh guarantees the nightmare will continue, especially for him and his battered family.

First he said he would vote to move Kavanaugh out of committee, then was shouted at in an elevator by leftists and cornered by Senate Democrats.

GOP senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, in office since 1977, voted for both Bork and Thomas, and offered his view that the hit job on Kav­anaugh is the worst of all three.

While there is no moral or principled defense for the Dems' conduct, the explanation is that they are terrified of Kavanaugh because he would be the fifth constitutional conservative on the court.

Now they would gladly take him back because if Kavanaugh joins Chief Justice John Roberts, Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch to form a consistently conservative majority, even liberal presidents and Congresses would be limited in their powers.

That scenario is why the attacks on Kavanaugh are so vicious, and why they won't stop.
