Laurence Tribe makes an interesting point.

No prior SCOTUS nominee has EVER lashed out under oath against an identifiable set of litigants, blamed them for ruining his life, and ominously warned them “what goes around comes around.” Kavanaugh did this to himself, without any tactical help from me. @AlanDersh is wrong. https://t.co/Np7Yv14ukP

I hadn’t really thought about it in that light. He created a visible conflict of interest for himself with all that raging at “the left” and Democrats.
