Correct. Kavanaugh has decided to deny anything vs being forthright. Playing the political odds.

This is my hesitation about him. Will he decide cases on the merits or be swayed by the political calculus??

If he has candor issues at the nomination process, that itself is a red flag.

Other posters have said "tie goes to the nominee." The country deserves more clarity. A 2 week investigation and report would have been helpful.
