You can agree with the idea that this is another vast conspiracy if you want. However, this sort of language does not suggest (to me at least) that this is a SCOTUS nomination who isn't partisan and holds themselves above the fray.
For the record, I think the SCOTUS has been political for a while but the current justices (including Gorsuch) at least managed to fake not being partisan. I think that having Kavanaugh on the court will really damage its reputation. If I had to guess, I'd think the only sitting Justice who wants him on the court is Thomas. The other conservatives would probably
much rather have another generic Republican without the partisan and attempted rape baggage.
