That it can't be talked about, and can't be questioned, without the accusations you made here. That everyone is just to assume that judge Kavenaugh is guilty and if they don't, they must be attacked also. I'm not saying any of what you asserted here.
And your emotional plea about a wife or daughter, could also be made about a son or husband. Would you wish for their life to be ruined, because of an accusation with little more than one persons word, and no other corroborating evidence. Everyone else who could attest to this, as denied knowledge of the party all together, or denied the claim outright. Those around him, say that the judge has always treated women with dignity and respect. And the second claim is quite spotty, with even the woman claiming it, not being certain if it was Kavenaugh. And this from a group which largely says that testimony is not even evidence.
No what is disturbing is that there are people who want to not investigate the allegations because he is "their guy" if they are investigated and found to be false then that would exonerate him BUT the rush to potentially let a man become the life time arbiter of your countries laws while under investigation is alarming.
At this point the only reason to rush this through is because you fear not getting as conservative a person in that position, you fear losses in the near elections that would prevent it. You would rather have a rapist than a democrat as a top judge and that is all we need to know about you.
They are investigating it. And have already delayed the confirmation vote because of this.
