Thats precisely my criticism. The insidious irony that SCOTUS nominee should undergo a trial-by-TV, no-due-process, highly manipulatable, politically charged, guilty until proven... to get to a position where they will be expected to hold the EXACT OPPOSITE ATTITUDE, makes a mockery out of the institution.

If you had 2 potential employees to interview for a important promotion that had the *exact* same qualification but one of them has been accused of sexual abuse by 3 other employees with stories that would be very difficult to fake...
Well you would hire the un-accused one to minimize risk to the company or you would be in dereliction of duty.
That's just how job interviews at businesses work, I'm sorry if the reality of that is too brutal for you to handle.

no-due-process
Dude, Republicans are the ones pushing for no due process. They blocked any meaningful investigation and are forcing this nomination through. You're complaining about Republican tactics and projecting it onto Democrats.

surely you noticed that none of this happened with Gorsuch, right? it's almost as if this problem is directly related to Kavanaugh and the GOP should put forth someone who doesn't have a history of sexually abusing people.

The Democrats didn't do with with Gorsuch. The peoblem isn't the Democrats but KavanAUgh and thr GOP.
Also, The Dems and all the accusers WANT due process. It's the GOP and Kavanaugh ho prevented the due process from being achieved.
