Is Brett Kavanaugh Out for Revenge?

The Atlantic: “While Kavanaugh’s allies insist that those comments were misinterpreted, they also say that he still privately seethes over the ‘smear campaign’ he believes he endured.”

Said one friend: “He’s made an effort to say, ‘Look, I’m not bitter about this. I’m moving forward.’ But I assume, when he’s lying in bed at night, it’s hard not to think about it.”

Said another friend: “He was really angry at Democrats for what they did to him and his family.”

“And yet, those same friends also describe a competing impulse in Kavanaugh—a burning desire to gain readmission into polite society and enjoy all the perks associated with one of the world’s most prestigious jobs.”
