So as a Christian, I think that our goals for ourselves and our leaders – including the Government (congress, judges, administrators) should lead by good example.
Truth
Integrity
Honesty
good virtues
all are important and should never be ignored in making decisions.
Fairness and equal treatment are important.
the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh from high school are unsavory, and if true embarrassing. the question is what should be used as the qualifications for office holders in morality and ethics?
if attempted accused groping while a drunk 17 year old is a bar to holding office 30 years later with no other incidents , then I must ask
at what point does righting one’s life count? what about forgiveness?
is the accused still doing this or has he continued to do this since the 30 year old incident?
Why did Bill Clinton get a pass? for his entire career? and stands accused of multiple sexual assaults?
Why is Keith Ellison getting a pass?
Why do we know nothing about Obama and he served as president for 8 years?
Why did Ted Kennedy get to serve decades and have multiple accusers ignored and he likely as the cause of Mary J K’s death in 1969?
the same goes for any politician who has stayed in office doing terrible immoral things, they should be held to the same standard as any of use mere mortals.
I did things in high school which I am not proud of. I never was drunk. I was mean to people sometimes, and was juvenile acting many times. I am sure I locked people in rooms as a joke, with this much time, I truly cannot remember.
without some other data points that show the Judge being an immoral person doing harm to women past high school, one incident, I do not see this as being something to bar him from confirmation. I my opinion, if this does, then half or more of congress, the military, many judges, most GOP and DEM leaders, state leaders should immediately resign – if they have any sense of honor left.
