      How difficult is it to say: "Look, I drank a lot in high school and college. I did a lot of stuff I'm not proud of, some of which I might not even remember. I'm genuinely sorry to anyone I hurt. I'm a different man today."

      How difficult is it to believe that 35 year old sketchy memories may not be accurate and that Judge Kavanaugh doesn't have to say something that is not true?

      He's already said many things that aren't true: in Fox interview he presented himself as a choirboy who only occasionally drank, despite much evidence he was heavy drinker in high school and college.

      The burden of proof is on the accuser not the accused, Jeezuz why is that so difficult to understand? Drinking a lot in college isn’t a crime, and shouldn’t have to come with blanket apologies.

      This isn't a trial, it's a job interview. Fact that the guy lies about his past, including about period of heavy drinking, can and should be held against him in asking if he's up for the job.

          Kavanaugh’s veracity was in question already w/respect to other subjects, including the Miranda affair, his role in Bush-era judicial nominations, and his personal finances. None of these are remotely disqualifying for Senate Republicans. Assault might be, for a couple of them.

          I doubt that, seriously, there really doesn’t seem to be a low bar that the @gop aren’t willing to go below. Its gross.

          He may have a delusional perspective on his own relationship to alcohol. As in, isn’t ready to admit he has a problem. Hence the the lack of amends anyone else would have offered - says a lot about his psyche & his comfort with Trump’s “Lie First, retract later” M.O.

          So, if someone merely accuses you of something, you should just lose your job; or, you should be barred from getting the one for which you're applying? I don't think you really want to start applying that standard.

          Even if he has changed and doesn't assault women anymore, the lying is a lot more recent. The lying demonstrates a disqualifying lack of integrity.
