If Kavanaugh is "punished" by not being confirmed to the SCOTUS due to a sexual misconduct allegation, that is the same "punishment" that Merrick Garland faced for merely being appointed by a Democrat.

Wow is that an inane attempt to spin the truth to support your boys.

It is a complete (probably deliberate) misinterpretation of Matt's post.

That you and your usual suspects are trying to defend what you wrote above is very telling.

Hell, Matt doesn't always agree with me but at least I don't try to fabricate what he said just to make a political point.

Garland and Kavanaugh may end up with the exact same result from their nomination: Not getting approved.  One is under scrutiny because he probably wasn't vetted well enough (while the Republican controlled Senate attempts to force his nomination through it all) and the other had the misfortune of being nominated by a Democrat when Republicans controlled the Senate and would not even CONSIDER his nomination.  

Period.  

All the GOP spin in the world won't take the stink off that or off your boys.

And I'll preemptively say No, two wrongs do not make a right.  But the first wrong had no basis in anything other than partisan politics.  Democrats didn't make Kavanaugh lie under oath (twice) and they did write the letter accusing him of trying to sexually assault someone in HS...whether the latter is true or not.
