See, you automatically believe he's innocent. You cannot consider the possibility he might have done it, but that he doesn't remember it. This is precisely your problem.

Yep, I look forward to them crying on the stand.

Perhaps you don't understand the words - if he was indeed innocent inside the quote. What do you think those words mean?

EVERYONE is innocent until someone proves that they are guilty, welcome to America. Democrats never even came close to proving that we should suspect Kavanaugh could be guilty, not even remotely close.

How many women have you raped but forgot about?

That's the way it's supposed to work in America. We automatically believe people are innocent until proven guilty.

What third world tinpot dictatorship would you prefer we live in? It seems you want to live in a place where if the powers that be dictate someone is guilty, then they are guilty. So long as the powers that be agree with your political views, anyway.

Even if they are accused for any reason by anyone, they have no right to a job. It's just a job after all.

Sorry, I missed that. If he didn't remember, which seems to me to be the most probable explanation, he doesn't really know if he was innocent or not. The honest thing to do there would be to say you don't think you did it, but you can't rule out the possibility you did it and don't remember, in which case the most honest thing to do would be to say the thing I suggested before.

The problem is assuming he was certain he did something in a situation which he was unlikely to remember. There were many people he knew telling everyone he was just the type of person who got drunk like that fairly often. So, this would have been just another instance of that. Completely denying something that you could have done in a situation you would not have remembered anyway is simply dishonest.

This was discussed ad nauseum in the other thread(s) on the topic. He was not being tried for rape, since the statute of limitations on that was long passed. He was in the court of public opinion. His honesty was being tested, not his guilt or innocence about something many years ago. People nominated for Supreme Court should be held to a pretty high standard of honesty. This was a test of it, and he failed.

That's a weird way of putting it. You might not remember what you did 5 years and 243 days ago but you damn sure know you did not rape someone in that black fog. Most people can safely say that they didn't do X even when they don't remember that day because that event is so out of character, if they did it, they'd remember it.

Wrong, he passed and the fact that he was confirmed proves it. There is nothing he could have said or done to make people like you and the hyperpartisan Senate Democrats think he "passed." The Senate Democrats and their minions are evil, despicable people with no honor or integrity.
