People who answer questions in front of Senate Committees often find it difficult to formulate a truthful answer, but one of the biggest whoppers told in recent weeks came from Brett Kavanaugh, who has been nominated for a judgeship on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Kavanaugh has played a key role in the Bush administration's effort to pack the federal courts with conservative judges. Yet Kavanaugh testified that the White House does not consider the ideology of judicial nominees.

Oh really?

"So can you name five pro-choice judges he has put forward?" Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, demanded. When Mr. Kavanaugh hesitated, Ms. Feinstein said: "Can you name four? Three? Two, or even one?"

There's no mistake about Kavanaugh's own ideology. As Ken Starr's deputy, Kavanaugh wrote the report to Congress opining that grounds existed to impeach President Clinton.
