I'm not in any way a Kavanaugh supporter but I do think it's ridiculous to try to destroy someone's career over something they did when they were 16. (Allegedly this took place during the summer before his Junior year so I'm assuming that's how old he was.) Yes it does sound aggressive and stupid and he should definitely have to do something to try to remedy his actions. But teenage guys do inexplicably stupid, testosterone fueled things that they later regret. People also grow as human beings. Even if the story is 100% true (especially if alcohol was involved) his potential suitability as a judge should not be contingent on something he did over two thirds of his life ago at a party. This whole movement of trying to ruin people for ever making a single error is preposterous. If we held everyone accountable for every dumb thing their did in their teens no one would ever be accepted for any job ever.

Now if on the other hand we get other stories of the same behavior spanning multiple years and it shows a pattern of behavior, that's a different story.
