Yep, just the same as receiving things such as:

Anybody who sent such an email to my wife and/or anyone that played party to it, might see me get a little heated too and not because they called me a rapist.

It's because no one was out to get Ford. Everyone (almost) says they believe she was assaulted as a youth. Unfortunately, the committee and this forum has only treated one side with dignity and respect.

Sure, his high school and college activities were "looked at". But there are different levels of investigating things based upon what the scope of the investigation. You know that already. A background check for a federal judge position probably just had a cursory review of those activities, similar to the security clearance checks we had for the Army. Right? Looking into something specifically based upon an accusation, you would expect a more intensive search.

It is unfortunate, but people in the public eye and their families get things sent to them from deranged people sometimes. So, you suggest that the way a person applying for a SCOTUS position should respond is by making a political-based rant about it during his nomination hearing?

Kavanaugh did not have to go through the rant or to make it politically biased. He chose to, just as the GOP members of the committee have conveniently chose to ignore the political bias from a potential SCOTUS justice.
