Sabotaged?

Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court...

And all indications are he still likes beer.

The parts I saw, Jackson pretty much schooled long winded GOP Senators. Her answers were mostly brief and to the point.

I think it was Cornyn who spent most of his time "testifying", then wanted more time because she took too long answering.

A bone of contention that gets little media coverage is unenumerated rights and substantive due process. Cornyn, Blackburn, and John Neely Kennedy brought  this up. Probably Graham and Cruz too? Cornyn rambled on and on about "Oberfell".  Blackburn attacked Roe and Griswold. Kennedy thinks the Constitution only protects rights explicitly mentioned, the enumerated rights. He actually said voters should decide unenumerated rights. Others wingnuts have said these should be decided by the respective States.

Justice Anne Burke at least recused herself in the case over use of aldermanic campaign funds to pay for criminal defense expenses. Now we find out that SCOTUS Justice Thomas voted to hide his wife seditious texts in an 8-1 decision instead of recusing himself.

ha ha. The question was  “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?”

This was in the context of transgender athletes. Sen. Blackburn was looking for a legal definition, a scientific definition..

btw, Senator Blackburn doesn't think you have a right to privacy because it's not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution.

Perhaps the end game for the GOP is to put the NCAA into a corner that they just run "Open" sports without respect to gender/sex/whatever, in order to not have to deal with the Government trying to tell them what they can and cannot do.

That will allow them to gut Title 9

I'm guessing Blackburn asked a question, in a round about way, to someone who has shown leniency in sentencing pedophiles whether she would support women's rights.
She got her answer.
It will get used in the mid-terms.
Jackson will be approved anyway.

What I saw, Blackburn was basically testifying. Cruz was posturing and the jackass Hawley QAnon-signaling.  Even conservatives were embarassed and dismayed by their conduct.

Constitutionally unsound rulings like Griswold vs. Connecticut, Kelo v. the city of New London, and NFIB vs. Sebelius confused Tennesseans and left Congress wondering who gave the court permission to bypass our system of checks and balances," Blackburn said
...
The Griswold decision was a landmark case in 1965, when seven Supreme Court justices voted married couples have a right to "marital privacy" in the decision to use birth control. The decision invalidated a 19th-century Connecticut law banning contraceptive use.
...
Though marital privacy, or broader privacy rights, are not explicitly stated in the Constitution, the majority in Griswold found that fundamental rights to privacy are implied within at least five amendments. [extreme] Conservative critics who prefer a strict reading of the Constitution have long criticized the ruling as an overstep.
