In a sane world, this would have been enough to disqualify him on the spot

Except that Kavanaugh's response to the accusations and requests for an investigation are indicating that there's something there that he doesn't want known. If you're innocent your best is to call the bluff of a false accusation because the investigation isn't going to turn up more than 'reading between the lines there might be something here but all evidence points more towards nothing.'

And you can bet that one of the first things the FBI will do/have done in the currently ongoing investigation is take a good, long time interviewing Dr. Blasey-Ford, to see if there's any holes where there shouldn't be. Particularly if previously she didn't have any, or filled them in later.


Anyway, the sexual misconduct allegations aside, even if I did like his political leanings his utter incapability to be impartial and control himself when put under pressure as well as his constant evasiveness and declarations that he's not answering hypothetical questions render him unsuitable to any position of judicial authority.

I'd have had more respect for him if he'd coolly answered such questions with 'I'm not going to comment on cases that are liable to end up before the Supreme Court so as to avoid biasing myself.' I mean, he's getting interviewed to become a Supreme Court Justice, He's going to have to handle hypothetical and theoretical questions regarding the law. It's going to be part of his job.
