The Kavanaugh hearing in the United States are disgraceful. But the worst part isn't that a liar and potential rapist may be confirmed to the Supreme Court of what is supposed to be an exemplary democracy.  The worst part is the the US Supreme Court exits and nobody finds that strange.  How can a country be deemed truly democratic if some of the most important decisions involving society are are decided not by elected representatives but by 9 Judges who have an average age of 70. Some of the most important decisions in American society seem to be decided by the Judicial rather the Legislative branch of government.  Why is Abortion, Gun Control, Gay Marriage or Immigration decided in the courts rather than by Congress? Instead of wondering if Kavanaugh should be allowed on the court Americans should asking for its abolition as an anachronistic and anti-democratic institution.  Possibly the best outcome would be to let Kavanaugh sit on the court so that it becomes so blatantly biased that it loses all credibility and power.
