one very good court of appeals nominee who was nominated to the ninth circuit to replace judge of scanlonecause he had written some columns in the stanford newspaper when he was an undergraduate basically making fun of identity politics. they found these articles and they turned them against him and sadly one of our senators from the great state of south notlina, tim scott, was willing to vote for him and so he had to withdraw his nomination. so it is a poignant and real phenomenon you are describing here. is that this is been going on for a long time, and it is because i don't think the democratic party can beat republicans on judicial philosophy. we have the judicial philosophy issue sewn up. when elena kagan during her confirmation hearing says we are ists now, i think we know that we have won the battle of ideas. so the only way left to bring down a nominee is to find something personal in their past. that is why they go to college writing, why they go after brett kavanaugh with the allegations they went after him for. in some ways it is a tribute to the success we have had on substan
