I didn't bring up Kavanaugh. You did.

Yeah, well, your post seems to hint at a certain intent.

But where's the evidence?

To put Kavanaugh in jail we'd need evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. But we're not talking about putting him in jail, we're talking about giving him a lifetime appointment to one of the most prestigious jobs in the United States.

One would hope that the bar for Supreme Court nominees is set just a little higher than "not proven to be a sex predator".


And surely not all "youthful transgressions" are equal.  I'd suggest that there's quite a leap from stealing a 12 cent ice cream bar in 4th grade to committing sexual assault as a high school senior.

And, leaving aside the question of whether he assaulted a girl as a 17 year old... we've seen his dishonest testimony and his work history, and that's enough to know that he doesn't deserve the job.  Maybe he should just stay at his current job, or become a legal analyst on Fox News. He'd probably be a big hit there.

This whole process would have gone much smoother if they had found another nominee of Neil Gorsuch's calibre.   I'm sure the Democrats would have loved to have taken down Mr Gorsuch too... but aside from being angry about his conservative politics, they couldn't find anything to attack him with.  He was unassailable-- as one would hope for in a candidate for a job where integrity and character are paramount.   After seeing Kavanaugh's testimony this past month, and especially last Thursday, integrity and character are not two words that come to mind.  There are plenty of other conservative judges they could look at... why are they so hung up on this particular one?
