This is the oddest conceit about this.

If Kavanaugh’s nomination goes down in flames, he’ll continue enjoying the exceptionally privileged life he’s always enjoyed.

He won’t go to jail, he won’t be poor, he’ll almost certainly retain a lifetime judicial appointment, etc. https://t.co/CQz22XwOYN

Actually, he would end up being a right wing hero on the level of Robert Bork, a martyr to the cause, worshipped and feted everywhere he goes. Since he is a political operative posing as a judge, this is actually a better outcome for him. Being on the Supreme Court is nice and all, but it requires a certain dignity that a partisan frat boy character assassin would likely find restrictive.

He will be more than fine. He will be a wingnut God.
