I agree with everything you said, but I think the Democtats contributed to the Supreme Court political football with Clarence Thomas. I don't know how it should have been handled, but all I remember is how unseemly the constant televised hearings were. I don't doubt the allegations, but I don't know why they couldn't have been handled better. And the accusations that the current nominee is soft on child porn is absurd.

As for Kavanaugh, I also don't understand how one's behavior at a drunken teenage party can be held against someone. I'm older than Kavanaugh, but as a teen, I knew exactly how a party with a bunch of drunken teenage boys would go, and I went anyway. I certainly wouldn't whine about it 20 years later. But again, these things should be handled better and not out in the in the 24/7 ​TV news.
