Here's the ultimate point I'm trying to make:
The SCOTUS is a judicial body that is supposed to be totally dedicated to the rule of law first - over ANY party affiliations. In his testimony, BK revealed himself to be completely partisan when he alleged, with zero evidence, that he was the subject of a democratic conspiracy.
I'm a very liberal guy, but if a liberal judge was up for the SCOTUS, and he complained that the sexual assault allegations against him were the fault of some elaborate republican conspiracy, with no evidence, I'd be appalled and say he's unfit for the job. I'd also think the allegations, even if only from a SINGLE credible witness, was disqualifying.
Politics isn't just about your side winning. When the court has obvious partisanship, we all lose, because it calls into question the integrity of every decision they make. After BK's testimony, where he made it clear he favors one party over another, he destroyed his credibility as a judge on any court, let alone the very highest.
