I am now generally curious about how the Democratic senators will question him. It seems like those exchanges could get really intense.

Yeah, Kavanaugh is going through the many high-profile posts of his career, noting that he had never been accused of sexual assault before this. But let’s not kid ourselves: None of the jobs he has held (even working for Ken Starr) were nearly as high-stakes or high-profile as justice of the Supreme Court. Certainly, the average American hadn’t heard his name until this summer.

I don’t know what happened between he and Ford. At all. But I don’t know that getting lots of government jobs means that you didn’t commit one sexual assault. And I don’t think reporters are looking into the past of the staff secretary of the White House, pre-Trump (Rob Porter was Staff Secretary.)
