was not bart, because he knew there were dozens of witnesses from his high school who can testify that, oh, yeah, he was bart when he was in high school. and some of those witnesses have told that to "the new york times" now, and "the new york times" has bart's signature in writing. and so brett kavanaugh was alert enough to not perjure himself when answering the question, were you bart. he just refused to answer it. something he could never get away with in a courtroom, but something he could get away with again and again in that hearing room because the hearing room is not a courtroom. it does not use the rules of a courtroom. but now republicans want to use the standard of a criminal courtroom to decide the nomination of a supreme court justice. they want to say that if you cannot prosecute a criminal case of rape against brett kavanaugh, then he should be a supreme court justice, even if there are very strong credible accusations that brett kavanaugh did commit the attempted rape of dr. ford and did commit a sexual assault against deborah ramirez at yale.
