Of course it's possible he's innocent. That doesn't mean the allegation should be investigated properly, and the agents shouldn't have to have one hand tied behind their backs.
But Kavanaugh has lied to congress. It's a felony. Before the time of Trump, his nomination would already be rejected based on that alone. And the nature of his lies amount to contempt of congress in my opinion.
This isn't partisan politics as usual. This is not normal.
On Nov 6th, 2016; I voted for Gary Johnson. I still considered myself a Libertarian. But I can no longer in good conscience continue to vote 3rd Party when one of the major parties has turned from being the conservative party to an openly authoritarian populist nationalist party. I'm a Democrat now because this man and his cronies have to be opposed and the country can't afford more protest votes. If the Democrats ever foist anyone as craptacular as Trump; I'll stop supporting them. What does it take before a Republican will admit that their party is off the rails and stop supporting them? The best thing that can happen to the Republicans is spectacular losses so they can retreat into the woodshed to reform their party into something that isn't an arrow aimed at leading us all into fascism and try to make a comeback in 10 or 20 or 40 years, minus the people who think colluding with Russia to interfere in American elections is fine.
The third of Americans who are expecting a civil war? Almost entirely Republicans. They're the only ones who want it. Because that's how far beyond the pale of civil norms they've gone.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
