Interesting to get people's opinions on the current controversy around Trump's nomination for the Supreme Court in the US, Brett Kavanaugh.

Without diminishing his (alleged) actions and their effects on the women involved, being harassed for things that he may have done when he was 17 and over 35 years ago seems very harsh.

Obviously you want your top judges to be of sound character, but I'm sure there is no such thing as a 'whiter than white' person out there.  I remember a fellow student having to expose himself in a pub as  part of a rugby club initiative and he is now a very senior QC ... we all do things when we are younger of which we probably aren't proud with hindsight but should be able to move on after 35 years???
