re: #267 wheat-dogg

As bad as Augh’s youthful behavior was, the main problem is his lack of honesty and transparency about his past and his finances. SCOTUS justices are supposed to be squeaky clean, and Augh is definitely not. People need to be press the GOP on why *he* is the best choice, and not some other judge. Why is *he* so fucking special? His vita is not so unusual that some other equally qualified candidate could be seated, even from the conservative side.

We here know the answers, but it would be nice to get the GOP to ‘fess up to the truth.

The reasons not to confirm him are independent of his record of purported sexual transgressions. To the point that they are almost a red herring, spinning the whole discussion into a he-said-she-said debate and distracting from his horrendous judicial record.
