Ignore the public and the polls on Brett Kavanaugh

For the past month, people have watched the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation saga unfold.

First, we sat through days of regular confirmation hearings that were dominated by partisan lines of questioning. Immediately following, we witnessed smear campaigns and misleading videos meant to sway popular opinion. Then came the letter that threw the entire process off course. There were more allegations. Finally, an additional, highly-charged hearing followed, and now we wait for an FBI investigation to conclude as a precursor to a final Senate confirmation vote that may come by week’s end.
