Is it relevant what someone did as a teenager 35 years ago?

IF the Judge was guilty of attempted rape as a teen, do you believe it would be a factor today....35 years later? Does a crime demand punishment for justice to be served? If he were guilty and the statute of limitations have elapsed, would he have escaped the judgement he rightfully deserved?

And what is the standard of justice in a case like this? There are different standards for adults and for juveniles. What is the typical sentencing guidelines for this sort of thing in Judge Kavanaugh's home state in 1983?

And what standard of justice are we speaking of?

Since the man cannot be criminally prosecuted is justice served IF guilty? If OJ really killed his wife is he really innocent of guilt because he was found not guilty?

State of Maryland, 1983.

Doesn't matter. Even in 1983 attempted rape was illegal, but it is too late to bring criminal charges (I am unaware of anyone even suggesting charges be levied against the judge).

Will you concede there is a difference between a 17 year old doing what he is accused of and a 25 year old, for example?

Same setting. Same circumstances.

Or is there no difference?

He is accused of attempting to rape a woman while "staggering drunk". In cases like that I believe alcohol to be more a factor than age (if a 17 year old does not understand that rape is wrong there is a serious issue).

I hope he is appointed (even if he were guilty people change).

Was Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, removed from office because he not only raped a woman, but she got pregnant due to that rape. And what did the Democrats do? The elected him President, twice!

What about Lyndon Johnson, also a Democrat. Was he removed from office due to several incidents of indecent exposure and flashing both men and women? Nope. He was elected Vice President, then finished out JFK's term then was elected to a 4 year term of his own.

For starters, there is absolutely NO evidence that the Judge did what this Democrat activist has alleged. In fact her story is so full of holes that nobody with any intelligence would believe it. She can't remember when. She can't remember where. She can't remember who, other than the Judge. She never reported it to the authorities. In fact she never reported it to anybody. And the one woman who said she told her got the details so wrong she withdrew her statement and said she had no first hand knowledge of the incident.

When are the American voters going to wake up and reject the politics of personal destruction. I can think of few things that are more anti-American!
Now we have a second woman accusing him of trying to commit sex act against her, but she admits was drunk at the party, really hazy on her memory recallations, and also did not know when and where was at!
This kind of testimony would get tossed day one in a court case!

I don't thing anything ever happened, but also do not think any attempt to rape was there!

Yep. That's exactly what they are doing.
What REALLY bothers the dems and media is that prior Republican presidents would have jellyfished and pulled him from consideration, but their acts are just making Trump did in even harder!
