>In a criminal trial, sure. As a candidate for a lifetime position on the highest court in the land, he should be above suspicion.

Then no one is a candidate... How do you feel about Biden? He had a number of women accuse him of wrong advances (and they were not conservatives). Is he above suspicion? Harris too had accusations about her -- is she above suspicion? You are concerned for the supreme court positions; what concern for the highest office in the country (and those that would possibly take the position)? I believe that accusers have to prove guilt; an accusation is not enough to disqualify a person for a position.
