Trump also may have promised him something or already paid him a perk of some kind to agree to the position and do as he was told. I don't picture Kavanaugh as a strong man who would argue with Trump. The rest of the time was probably spent coaching for the hearing again.

He's got a long week ahead of him...particularly if he's planning on lying.
