Brett Kavanaugh's hearing yesterday dominated the news. Here are some reactions:
- My favorite: Alexandra Petri demanding HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO BRETT KAVANAUGH.
- My least favorite: Mona Charen correctly identifying it as a show trial but incorrectly identifying the aggrieved party.
- Sarah Holder makes the case for a local investigation of Kavanaugh's conduct.
- Emma Green found herself baffled by Rachel Mitchell's questions.
- Andrew Sullivan notes that everyone lost yesterday.
- Aaron Blake says the GOP's nightmare might not be over.
- Chris Jones called it a circus of human pain.
- Josh Marshall points out that Kavanaugh is still a very powerful judge.
- The Guardian also weighed in, as did The Economist,
Then, today, the committee voted along party lines to advance Kavanaugh to the whole Senate; Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) demanded the FBI investigate the allegations; and protesters confronted Flake in the Capitol.
