week will know that he is not fit to sit on the supreme court. and so it s hard for me to imagine how someone who is undecided could possibly think that this is an appropriate choice. the president has the right to someone who shares his viewpoints. elections have consequence. so he gets to pick a conservative judge. but he does not get to pick someone who lies to the senate, someone who has a long history of miss behavior in high school and college, and if the fbi weren t handcuffed, they might also find that it continued well on into adulthood. so i think we have a serious problem here and that the fbi investigation is never going to be complete under the current terms. it s just not fair. and, lisa, it s certainly with kavanaugh defenders in the senate, they simply say that any discussion anything he says about drinking is off limits, it s not to be even considered whether it s true or false because there shouldn t be a discussion of what they call high school drinking.

brett kavanaugh won t solve america s deeper supreme court problems. so, this is what i m trying to get at. i ll joined now by john harris and roger pilon. and again, with you, john, talking about the specific versus the larger culture war that you want to go on, you really go back between kavanaugh and ken starr and the clinton and the sort of and the fact that it s a mirror image argument that the clinton defenders of 98 are making to kavanaugh defenders of 18. well, the common theme is, in both cases, you had people saying, i can t possibly understand how the other side could tolerate this, how they could think this. and usually, when you are in one of those situations where you can t possibly understand why people would think the exact opposite of you, it says, we re not really in a political fight, we re in a cultural fight, in which basic questions of identity are at stake. the point that i was making in that piece is, bill clinton spent a year lying in pretty
