The 2πR Award for Circularity this week goes to Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, who said that Judge Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed because his testimony showed he has "deep resentments."

With this innovation, we now have a foolproof way to derail almost any judicial nominee whom one opposes for other reasons. Just treat him or her so badly that any person capable of normal human feelings would be justifiably and deeply resentful, and then vote the nominee down on the basis of those resentments. Brilliant.

To counter this strategy, the Administration would have to nominate complete stones with no feelings. Um, do we really want that?
