I don't really have strong feelings on that question as it's about what I expect from politics at this point. My main point is that people need be more skeptical of everything they're told in this story. Everyone has an agenda and the truth is not something anyone cares about at this point.
From my vantage point, it is pretty clear that as a young man (in HS and at Yale) Kavanaugh engaged in at a minimum gross behavior toward women usually while blitheringly drunk.
The coverup is always worse than the crime. When these allegations came out he proceeded to deny all under other oath. This led to some rather farfetched claims. For example that the devils triangle was a drinking game and that boofing referred to farting. All under oath.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Also, the fact that we are somehow re-litigating this is an embarrassment since there is no actual new evidence. Why is this even a story now? Could it be possible that the Dems are concerned about their internal polling and wished to re-surface an issue they feel will strengthen the enthusiasm of their base?

"It just didn't make any sense,’ lifelong friend Leland Keyser told NYT reporters about Ford's allegations, adding ‘I don't have any confidence in the story.’”
You would think this account would hold some significance right? RIGHT?

There is no way a person with this kind of potential baggage should even be considered for the Supreme Court. Whether he's a liar or used to be a party animal who treated girls like sex props with his frat buddies aside, this is not the kind of person who should be on the highest court in the land. Were there really no better candidates than this guy?

True. I actually like Kavanaugh's jurisprudence. If you go back to the thread where his appointment was discussed, I was more enthusiastic than anyone else about the selection. But it seems to me there are dozens of other good candidates out there who do not have that kind of baggage.

You have in the Trump Era yet to accept any attempt of substantiation.
I think the phrase you use is "fake news"
Or as a child would scream" la la la la la la la..."

"Potential baggage."
Hmmm.
Vetting is the word you were looking for
Due diligence might've been another
There are also questions suurounding the vacancy and monies unaccounted for

The @Newyorker
can confirm this: Sen. Chris Coons personally alerted FBI Dir. Chris Wray
of an additional eyewitness alleging Kavanaugh exposed himself to a
2nd woman at Yale- but the FBI never interviewed the witness,
Max Stier, or investigated it.

Actually the Supreme Court is NOT for life. The Constitution says the federal bench is for life.
Which means Supreme Court Justices can be rotated off onto district courts.
Since two of them were put on illegitimately, that is important to know.

putting Kavanaugh and his issues aside, this is interesting

Article 3 does not set a term of service. The only limitation is that judges hold office
during “good behavior.” It does not specifically state they hold office for life,
nor does it state anything about moving a Supreme Court Justice to an inferior tribunal.

Correct, Congress has just never finished its job of setting term limits.
We need to Amend the Judiciary Act- set terms, and retro them!!
