Do they not realize he is now on the Supreme Court with a life time appointment? It is the job the guy dreamed about. He saw Bork and Thomas. He knew what he was getting into. It is worth it to him to be in this job.
Any lawyer then Judge who does not dream about being on the Supreme Court someday is not worth much.
His life is about to become amazing. It is not ruined or over or anything. Someday everyone will know the truth and he will be seen as a hero.
