If a candidate is going to be rejected based on allegations of wrongdoing, there needs to be a presumption of innocence, and some standard by which adduced evidence is measured to determine whether it is sufficient to reject the candidate.
Turley suggested that the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard that applies in criminal cases is far too high, while the "preponderance of evidence" standard of civil cases is too low; he proffers "'clear' preponderance of evidence." And he further opined that in the Kavanaugh case, the evidence presented did not even reach the level of "mere" preponderance of evidence.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostThat's exceedingly unlikely. Controlling the Senate and House isn't sufficient to impeach, you need control of the House and 2/3 of the Senate, which hasn't happened in the last 50 years and is virtually impossible in our current political climate. If you're going to impeach someone, you need at least some of both parties to sign up for it.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostHe showed he doesn't have the temperment to be on the highest court in the land. Whether you believe the many sexual violence accusations against him or not, he lied to Congress over and over again. That is an automatic disqualification for one seeking a seat on the highest court in the land. He also threatened his perceived political enemies, which is also grounds for automatic disqualification.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
