I'll also ask this, and please just consider the question and not the nature of the allegations.  Is something a person did at the age of 17 really relevant to the person they are at 53?  I'll also add this question, why do we have separate juvenile and adult criminal court processes?

Interjecting here, but...

To the first:
Midterms. You don't throw the hail mary on second and short.

To the second: Similar to what Matt said, I've thought a lot about this at different times. I think you have to look at it on a case by case basis. The severity of the act, age, record since then, etc. For Kavanaugh, I don't think this would necessarily be an issue that should prevent the nomination, mostly because it's just an accusation. On the other hand, Kavanaugh (correctly or not) seems like he couldn't tell the truth if it was written down a cue card. For that, I don't think he should be on the court.
