'Future Hope' Column: (Dr.) Kavanaugh and Mr. Judge

 
By Ted Glick

Watching Brett Kavanaugh testify before the Senate committee last Thursday reminded me of Spencer Tracy in the movie Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Tracy played the character of a psychotically sick, middle-aged man, a mild-mannered, well-respected medical doctor operating within London’s elite society who had a very, very dark side when it came to substance abuse and abuse of women.

It wasn’t easy to watch Kavanaugh as he went on and on. He seemed to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown from beginning to end. Multiple times he came close to crying out loud. He must have reached for water 15 times. His facial expressions, what looked like his tongue constantly moving back and forth and up and down inside his mouth, as well as his over-the-top anger, did not come across well in the important category for a Supreme Court judge of “temperament.”

Kavanaugh was so upset because his cover was blown by three courageous women who charged that they had been victimized by him when he was a young man palling around with Mark Judge, an admitted former alcoholic of dubious character.

I don’t know if Kavanaugh’s apparent behavior in high school and college continued as he grew older. But it is a fact that he is a former clerk, a co-worker in the Bush administration and a long-time friend of former Appellate Judge Alex Kozinski, “known to sexually harass his clerks.”
