YES! I was screaming this at the time. I probably would have gotten on board if he could have shown any humility at all. Spoken as a father of girls who might be in that situation sometime soon. Just own it. But he did that stupid Fox interview where he said he was too busy going to church and doing community service to party. It was so obnoxiously BS. And then came to the hearing screaming and promising revenge. I am not a lawyer, and I really don't feel qualified to judge if a person is legally qualified to be on the SC. But his reaction to this situation made me confident he didn't have the temperment or judgement to be in a lifetime role of this magnitude.
So someone accuses another person of something that supposedly happened 30 years ago at a party. She has absolutely no corroborating Witnesses and can't remember details about the party. But the person who is accused is supposed to simply accept the accusation as true? Absolutely not. In our system we don't assume people are guilty simply because they're accused. We require evidence. There was none. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. But it does mean we don't assume he's guilty.

There was also no investigation, so I'm not sure where you expected evidence to come from.
I completely agree with you.
