re: #170 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The GOP really won the day with Kavanaugh on using terms like “due process” “innocent until proven guilty” regarding his past activities.

But this Kavanaugh was not on trial for any criminal actions, this was a hearing to determine whether he possessed the character and qualifications to warrant a lifelong appointment to the highest legal instance in the nation.

I see a different set of standards applicable there, but the GOP managed to derail it into a matter of “she-said, he-said”.

There was maybe a time when a mere credible accusation like this would be disqualifying in and of itself.

Now it’s if you can’t prove it to courttoom standards, we’re good with him on scotus
