People here commenting that the last point isn't valid are ironically demonstrating just how much respect the bench requires.

Thankfully, blind allegations with no substantiation aren't enough to ruin a whole careers worth of earned respect.

Yes good point. Kavanaugh's appointment showed us that if you aspire to be a SC judge you better make sure you behave well right from your teens. Some dubious instant from 30 years ago might come to hurt you.

The sexual assault allegations addressed by the reopening of his confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court seem to have made everyone forget the fairly blatant perjury about his role in Bush Admin torture policy in his confirmations hearings for the D.C. Circuit that was addressed (but let slide) in the first round of his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

True. There were many serious concerns about his competence as a judge which were not even discussed and everyone focused on his sex life.

I would probably argue that it didn't show us that at all.

Hundreds of US law professors disagree with you about that respect.
