The Case of Brett Kavanaugh

Yes, while every one of us should absolutely be “presumed innocent until we’re proven guilty,” that clearly applies where one is accused of perpetrating a crime and where the consequences could result in a severe punishment. We should obviously avoid anyone ever suffering from such an adverse outcome unless we are absolutely sure through unequivocal evidence and the testimony of reliable witnesses that the person involved is guilty “beyond reasonable doubt” of the accusation rendered. But in the case of considering employing someone for a specific job, especially one as critically important as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, then even if the slightest serious questions surface about his or her trustworthiness, integrity or honor then the better part of wisdom is to pass on that candidate, particularly when there are so many others available that can do the job as well or even possibly better. Why settle, why take the risk given the serious issues that have arisen with respect to the past behavior of Brett Kavanaugh?
