Would a Hysterical Ginsburg Been Confirmed?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out on the Kavanaugh nomination over the weekend, saying that if Christine Blasey Ford had behaved like Brett Kavanaugh did when he testified about her sexual assault allegation against him, she’d be labeled “hysterical.”

In his own testimony, Kavanaugh forcefully declared his innocence, at times yelling, crying and interrupting senators.  The judge called the allegations a “gross character assassination” conceived by Democratic lawmakers and fueled by “revenge on behalf of” Bill and Hillary Clinton.

“I think that he disqualifies himself with those statements and the manner in which he went after the Clintons and the Democrats,” Pelosi told interviewer Alex Wagner. She added that “if he is not telling the truth to Congress or to the FBI, then he’s not fit not only to be on the Supreme Court, but to be on the court he’s on right now.”

Now come reports that angry demeanor Kavanaugh displayed during his testimony was typical.  Charles 'Chad' Ludington, who now teaches at North Carolina State University, said over the weeend that Kavanaugh was a "frequent" and "heavy drinker",  and was often "belligerent and aggressive" when drunk.
