in mind. my mom, my wife, my dad, and my daughters. you can count on me to be the same judge i ve been for my entire 20-year legal career. hard working, even keeled and dedicated to the constitution and the public good. danny, it seemed that if there were any wavering republicans there like susan collins, brett carver gnaw through that op-ed there was trying to reassure him about those questions of temperament and fairness that adam was just speaking to. brett kavanaugh with his testimony, his fire-breathing testimony that harkened back to clarence thomas testimony to me sought to appeal to the republican base. and then his subsequent op-ed was backing off and trying to get back some of the moderate. in other words, that the first run he came out angry at the second run with that op-ed, he did something unprecedented by even writing the op-ed and trying to back off some of his anger from before.
