Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh admitted in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal Thursday that he was at times “too emotional” during his hearing last week when he addressed allegations of sexual assault, but said “going forward” he would continue to be an impartial judge.
“I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters.
“Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career: hardworking, even-keeled, open-minded, independent and dedicated to the Constitution and the public good. As a judge, I have always treated colleagues and litigants with the utmost respect. I have been known for my courtesy on and off the bench. I have not changed. I will continue to be the same kind of judge I have been for the last 12 years. And I will continue to contribute to our country as a coach, volunteer, and teacher. Every day I will try to be the best husband, dad, and friend I can be. I will remain optimistic, on the sunrise side of the mountain. I will continue to see the day that is coming, not the day that is gone.”

Sorry I hurt you honey. I brought you flowers. It will never happen again I promise.
Was that so hard? Now let’s just get it all off your chest and admit the raping too, you son of a bitch. Because you care so much about daughters. Bastard.
Okay, this could be HUGE!!!
GOP Senator Steve Daines of Montana said that he isn’t going to be in D.C. Saturday because of his daughter’s wedding!
That means if McConnell doesn’t delay the vote, the Dems would only need to flip one of the remaining GOP holdouts while securing Manchin’s vote!
Steve Daines going to Daughter’s wedding on Saturday regardless of Confirmation vote
Almost sounds like he’s still worried about getting confirmed.
I read his entire statement. I did not see an apology.
