Karl Rove's Genius.

It's a tell that someone with an allegedly brilliant legal mind wouldn't join a top firm out of law school, but instead would become a Karl Rove disciple and sign up with Ken Starr to use his legal writing skills to craft the purple-prose reporting that is the Starr report.

Today, we learn that this family-man provider, with two young girls at home to support with his wife, runs up his credit-card bills to buy baseball tickets. Seriously?

The idea that this is the best man for the job in these divisive times in our country is one that needs to be punctured. There are thousands more pragmatic and to put it quite bluntly -- smarter -- legal candidates for this job. But President Trump needs to choose a baby-faced boy who is not a seasoned judge with smarts, to allegedly ensure his legacy.

We didn't vote for Jeb Bush.
The country is rejecting Washinton DC values and divisiveness.

We can do better than Brett Kavanaugh. The Senate would be smart not to rubber-stamp this sheltered man with precious little real-life experience outside of Washington's political circles, and elite safe spaces. Someone who understands the realities of how the real-world operates.

No one is saying Brett Kavanaugh is not qualified. He is.

How many hundreds of qualified college or job applicants are turned down yearly because they are not a "good fit"?

Kavanaugh the Karl Rove disciple is simply not a good fit for this open position. Ask a Catholic, one who understands why even a Pope who is not a "good fit" for his changing times but who is supremely qualified, ended up resigning his position for someone who was a better fit.

Like with unfinanced wars, this is an important decision that ought to be carefully examined, not simply rubberstamped by the people in Washington and the mainstream media.
