The ABA’s rating of Kavanaugh was the highest it could give.

With cause.
And (c) The triumph of Trump came at the expense of honesty and openness, with resriction of the FBI investigation and an unwillingness to share the report with the American people because it shows that Kavanaugh lied to the Judiciary Committee.

b) That is the usual course of events. These are not the usual course of events.
c) Previous SCOTUS nominees have not been accused of lying to Congress.
d) If we were only going by what happens to previous nominees, Merrick Garland would have gotten a hearing. He didn't. You may remember.
Previous SCOTUS nominees before this time around required a supermajority. But you don't care about that, either. Senators representing a minority of the citizens voted in a nominee disapproved of by a minority of the citizens. Congratulations. I hope you are proud that your liar is now seated.
