Many of the arguments made by Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s supporters are illogical or downright wrong. It’s very possible a Democratic president and Congress would seek to pack the court by expanding the number of seats. Has the GOP irrevocably given up on any semblance of fidelity to conservative values — respect for truth, comity, civility, decency, fairness? Kavanaugh pulled back the curtain on the nasty truth that the Supreme Court is now about power politics; clarity is important, albeit disturbing. As for “conservatism” these days, the term seems to have lost all meaning.
