It's worth wondering why any US Senator would vote for a Supreme Court nominee who's opposed by the American Bar Association, the Jesuits, 2,500 law professors, a 98-year-old former Justice, and even his former drinking buddies.
But after tomorrow, endangered Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock might also wonder how any Senator could vote for a nominee who inspires a walkout at two of her district's high schools.
More than 200 kids from John Handley High and Sherando High left class to protest the execrable Brett Kavanaugh, sexual violence in their community and rape culture in their schools. Several of the kids said they personally knew victims of assault.
"We stand in protest of the leaders of this country, who are willing to overlook the abhorrent and disqualifying actions of a Supreme Court nominee for the sake of political gain," speechified one 15-year-old.
Why should Comstock care? The high schools are in Winchester, Virginia — one of the reddest parts of Virginia's 10th district. And even there, it's KavaNope. We cats PURR.
