On Thursday, as Democratic hopes of stopping Judge Brett Kavanaugh from ascending to the Supreme Court faded, new and outsized importance has been placed on Kavanaugh’s supposed “perjury” in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Kavanaugh, the logic goes, lied; no matter that the allegations against him remain uncorroborated on every level, no matter that he was personally attacked by senator after senator, he fibbed about his high school yearbook, and thus he should be toast.
This is absurd for a few reasons.
