    In the context of this "job", character is very relevant.

    You CANT be serious. No proof of guilt is not even close to proven innocent. I mean, not even f**king close. Ah the minds of trumpists. Logic evades them for some reason.

    It may, if that reason is cited for you not being hired.
    Your second sentence is not worth a comment as I suspect it was made out of frustration.

    It is throughout our society including civil courts. I recently sued someone for a civil tresspass and property damage. I had to prove they did it the judge assumed their innocence until I proved their guilt with evidence.

    The fact is Kavanaugh was being accused with a criminal act and he like any other person deserves the assumption of innocence. The fact is not a scintilla of evidence to show any guilt was produced. Accusations of guilt are entirely baseless and in fact refutes by evidence. They are nothing but desperate partisan smears of an honorable man.

    And there you have it. Trolling and insulting because you can not reject the lies of Trump. Bravo. It is that sort of worship/sycophancy that dictators rely upon.

    At first it was entertaining, now it is just sad. Why can't the Democrats at least try to retain some dignity? They are acting like spoiled children.

    No. It doesn't matter. That was a political test. If it were a court of law you'd have the ghost of a point.

    The accusations against Kavanaugh were the only thing completely invented

    Ahhhh, again context is key....he was accused in the court of public opinion not a criminal court. You are applying criminal court standards to the public opinion matter. The citizens still have to vote no?

    Frankly, I don't particularly care about the Kavanaugh/Ford scandal. I saw it as a giant cover for the other political news.

    Be honest Bluesguy, it is possible that the claims against Kavanaugh were true, although I think the probability is very small. I thought what the feinswine did was despicable, she brought politics to a new low. That said, there was no "proof" that Kavanaugh didn't do those things. He most likely didn't but that is very different than proven that he didn't. I don't think this is a semantics argument either. I think it shows just how sloppy and lazy people are with their thinking.

    Except for the fact that Kavanaugh didn't face a jury of his peers (I.E. Tobin, Mark and Squi).

    He faced a jury of 11 that would acquit him of anything and 10 that would convict him of anything...

    I.E. Not a trial...

    Nobody in this country is ever declared to be innocent.... you are either guilty or not guilty.... Kavanaugh is currently considered not guilty of sexual assault (not legally, since he was never actually legally charged with that crime).

    Next up... Fun with Perjury!!

    He was cleared of the charges when they were found without support and refuted by the evidence.

    A witch trial where the accusers were not even cross examined.

    Are you okay with lynch mobs? They don't have trials either.

    We all know that Trump can be sloppy with his language....I won't try to parse what he was getting at there, but suffice to say, that literally NONE of it matters, as Justice Kavanaugh took his seat on the court at 9:00 am today....So, let's think about bigger issues than whether or not Trump steps on his own dick at times....

    Explain....Why would charges that could not be verified be valid?
