Should Brett Kavanaugh SCOTUS Nomination Continue?

And how is destroying a man’s life, career and reputation just because he is a Trump appointee or that you don’t like his politics (or whatever reason) any less toxic? Because that is what the democrat policiticans are doing (and that is what the other half of the argument is supporting).

You also have to able to look at it from both perspectives and know that there are people here that do not believe Ford and consider Kav innocent (or at least do not accept the evidence brought forward to be convincing).

And I I’ve literally seen TV shows (SNL for one) literally laughing at Kavanaugh’s plight (not even considering the possibility of him being innocent). That’s pretty much pure schadenfreude as well, isn’t it?

The fact that the FBI "investigation" was a total sham is pretty good circumstantial evidence in favor of Ford's testimony. Also, basically all of his friends from his time at Yale have come out against his nomination, which is also telling, as well has over a thousand law professors and the freaking Bar Association. A former conservative justice has also come out against his confirmation.

Just Kavanaugh's behavior during his hearings should prevent him from ever being on the bench again. He's acted like a spoiled child. Is that really the kind of person you want on the Supreme Court?

That’s a bit of a non sequitour there. And how was the investigation “a sham” (quite a subjective term don’t you think?)? And how does that have to do with anything I said?

I disagree. Judges are human, like you and me. We aren’t robots, we can get emotional. If we are professional, then that would have little/no bearing how we do our jobs. If you want to use a metric for determining how a person does their job, then we go look at their job history.

And let us not be disengenous here. Do you really think there was any way he would have responded that would not have gotten spun by the media and made a reason for him “to never be on the bench again”? You and I both know the answer to that.
