And, to those of you who say this is not a “court of law,” you are correct. However, that does not mean that the standard in our country is no longer innocent until PROVEN guilty. The standard is that there must be some evidence of misconduct or a crime.
One more thing... if Democrats are successful at preventing Kavanaugh from getting a SCOTUS seat, don’t think they will stop there. They will go after him on the Court of Appeals. You KNOW that to be the case. They are ruthless and dirty.
The ethical standard for a Judicial Nominee are not remotely the same as that of a defendant in a criminal case. The appearance of impropriety is enough to remove a judge from the bench.

But carry blathering about legal standards that you obviously know nothing about.
