These links accurately sum up my views on the Brett Kavanaugh hearings:

Welcome to a new age of regression

From the time Trump named him, Kavanaugh being the next justice was a done deal. Instead of the handwringing over abortion, my main concern was the new justice will eradicate what’s left of Civil Rights Era laws like affirmative action.
Kavanaugh’s past should have been enough to disqualify him but then, I realized who was running the show in D.C.—a president who has his own sexual skeletons in the closet.

Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him

The president’s quote along with the GOP’s “we heard you but we’re not listening” attitude demonstrates that it isn't an issue of being tone deaf, it’s really a matter of them being arrogant.
Trump could have nominated any right wing blowhard hellbent on overturning Roe vs Wade, rendering anti-discrimination laws useless and eviscerating environmental laws but the fact that he stuck with Kavanaugh is the truest reflection of his character.

Sports analogy

Under Anthony Kennedy, 5-4 votes were like Game 7s that were dramatic at times. Under Kavanaugh, those same 5-4 votes will now resemble Game 7 blowouts.
