So if I apply the principle of (First show me in the Constitution of the United States of America, that this is a requirement. And if it is so for a judge, regardless of rank (ie, City, State, Federal Judge) it would be covered under article 3 of the US Constitution. No where in Article 3 does it mention this as a requirement.

By the way, Article III, section one states: The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.)

also read by the constitution in Article II section 2, step 2 this: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

With that being said let us explore your "air tight case"

1. Judge Kavanaugh was questioned for over 30 hours and a record of 1287 questions and the Democrats have even more questions.

2. Judge Kavanaugh was subjected to 7 FBI investigations since 1992. As a result of these governmental and FBI investigations it is hard to conceive that the incident Mrs. Ford alleges is creditable.

3. Judge Kavanaugh's reaction to the death threats to him and his family, based upon the allegation of an alleged event, by senators in a conformation hearing is not honorable. It was not honorable for President Clinton to be questioned on his sexual impropriety in the 1990s with Paula Wilke and Monica Lewinski, as it is not honorable for Bret Kavanagh to be questioned on his sexual impropriety from high school over 30 years ago. Therefore his reaction is that of a man who was falsely accused, and that accusation caused the danger his family and that of Mrs. Ford.

4. Improper procedure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, by not keeping Mrs. Ford's allegation confidential is a disciplinary problem of and unbecoming of a US. Senator. Her actions shall go down in history, as the actions that could potentially destroy the Democrat party as a whole. But it is up to the Senators in the Senate to determine this. Sen. Grassley has already accused Senator Feinstein of this improper use of information. If Kavanaugh was questioned fairly and biasedly we would have a different outcome. Kavanaugh was honored by the whole body of Senators, until this confirmation hearing.

5. The actions of Brett Kavanaugh is normal for an American Citizen living in America today. After undergoing many questions, more so than any other candidate ever nominated for the supreme court, he was attacked through threats and character assassination, for him to keep his composure is not human. However, at first, as he was ignored, he categorically denied all the allegations. Until the Senators, the Democratic Senators started repeating their character assassination questions on him, did he act. His actions challenged the motive of their questions. As a result great disrespect of his dignity was comprised during the hearing.

But in my opinion the entirety of the above is just a bunch of mumble jumble and seemingly legal BS. The point I am making here is the Constitution protects people like Kavanaugh from such a despicable display of character assassination. The rule of law is simply this "The accused is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, by a jury of his peers."

Judge Kavanaugh is a lawyer, and a judge. Most of, if not all of the senators are lawyers. So the profession is the same and the judiciary committee can be considered a jury of his peers. In this light, by the nature of a us lawyer, for both the prosecution and defense, the accused is innocent until proven guilty. This did not happen. I expected one senator, usually from the minority, to act as a prosecuting attorney, where the majority is acting on behalf of the defense. This is a game the senate plays and has played for many years. With that being said, and with the fact that the 7th FBI report shows no corroboration with Mrs. Ford or any of his accusers, me as American public is calling foul!. The prosecution failed to prove its case. Let's confirm the judge.

If Judge Kavanaugh is not confirmed then we just as well as throw out the constitution, because we are not following it anymore.

It's called fighting back. The republicans listened to stupidity like "we are better than that" , and "don't become them by sinking to their level" .
Trump wasn't supposed to win because he fought back. He isn't presidential. Does presidential mean taking blows from the left delivered to knock him out?
Is judicial accepting false, career ending accusations with a calm smile?
That's what you were expecting. Morals and feigned dignities can be posed after the battle is won.
Look for dignity in Kavanaugh when he's on the bench. He won.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Thank you for your kind reply, rumi., I know we don’t see to eye on things but we do at least accept each others opinions.. Thats how this game is played... I come specifically for differring views..I want to know what other people think about certain subjects and I’m not offended by them so stating..Thus my respect for you too...

I do agree that there are a mirade of different ways someone’s rebuttal can be made....Perhaps a lesson in that part will be learned here? Also, I agree he reacted and allowed emotion to override in some aspects... shows the human element of people doesn’t it?

I do believe Feinstein handled this entire situation incorrectly and her motivation in doing so it’s pure retaliatory action against Trump and trying to stop the appointment of yet another constitutionalist from being appointed to the Supreme Court.

What a person did as a teenager or while in college seems your relevant when you look at the over 30 years of judicial service Kavanagh offered. The appointment of the supreme court should be based on experience and what that person accomplished in their career that brings them before a nomination..

We were all young once and we sure did things we wish we had not now. I loved my high school and college years and wouldn’t change a thing about them and I would be lying to say that I didn’t attend a few parties myself. It’s part of growing up in those years while formidable do not define the career you later take and your accomplishments in that field.

Our aspen trees are changing~~

A Judge, Common Pleas, Circuit, District, Federal or Supreme, is charged with ruling by the "Letter of the Law". A Supreme Court Judge delves into Constitutional Law.
Most Americans have never read the Constitution to its conclusion and, if they did, they would have difficulty interpreting the meaning of the language in which it was written.
His Honors' temperament and "Spittle Fueled" tirade WAS disconcerting. This man was being publicly crucified by people WE have elected to some of the highest offices in the land. Neither Democrats OR Republicans presented themselves with decorum. THAT too, I found to be disconcerting.
