Kavanaugh Can Join Thomas.

This isn't a criminal case.

Stop making arguments as if it were.

Arguments are still going to be made, regardless. Why? Because this is a discussion board and we are discussing Kavanaugh's alleged actions and his behavior during the time he was testifying at the hearing.

My comment was in response to other posters continually commenting on the judicial process.  Because this is not a judicial process.  That was my point.

So you don't need evidence and reasons for you belief then?

Does that standard only apply to a criminal case?

edit:   This seems like a principle that may bite you in the ass later (on an atheists forum).

Yes, and I have them, and I've listed them, and more keep piling up.  You just dismiss them.

But you keep saying stuff about judicial process.  The FBI investigation is part of a background check, not part of a judicial process. The standards are not the same.

For instance, if someone has a reputation of substance abuse that is discovered in a background check, they don't need for him to be guilty of any specific crime for people to be concerned about his fitness for office.  They don't need evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to disqualify him, not an arrest record, or tapes of him snorting coke.  Just the reputation would be enough to disqualify him.

It seems a lot of people misunderstand what I'm saying here.  Do you understand my point now? This isn't a criminal trial.  He can be disqualified on a much smaller amount of evidence or even suspicion than it would take to convict him in a criminal trial.  I didn't make these rules, this is just how these appointed positions work.

So the question is, is there enough suspicion to disqualify him?
The answer for many of is is yes. For the majority of Americans, the answer is yes.  For me the answer is already yes.

Will the FBI uncover enough for the Republicans in congress to disqualify him?
I don't know, but I suspect not. After all, it seems most think even proof of the deed would not disqualify him.  


So my question to you is, what preponderance of evidence, if any, would disqualify him in your eyes?

In any case, this is all still just a dog and pony show for the pleebs. The fact that congress can set a time limit on the FBI investigation shows me that.  Even if he is disqualified, they will simply nominate another far right judge and ram him down the public's throat asap.  Assuming they can do it before the next election.  
This position is too pivotal for them to risk it all by caring about the truth, something republicans have already shown an utter disregard  for.
