>>Puhleaze ... even a "step down" would just be a transition to consulting to the private sector for access to our rulers. These people are career politicians and never "step down" in a meaningful way. If we did this stuff we would be in court and in jail.

FWIW I've met men like Cuomo. As their star rises they tend to become prideful with expectations that rules don't apply to the mighty who are entitled to fawning behavior from underlings, often with a vicious streak just beneath the surface. Women may feel pressured not to complain about inappropriate behavior because consequences may not be stated but are implicit when your own prospects depend on that person. This is a big difference from what Kavanaugh may or may not have tried when he was a drunken student, with no implied or real consequence if she refused. This is also the reason why many workplaces have zero tolerance for sexually charged dealings with underlings = another problem for Cuomo. And then there's his own repeated calls for immediate resignation by others similarly accused.

The greater scandal should be the double-standard meaning of your image, though the explanation will be that New Yorkers can eject Cuomo if they don't like it, whereas Kavanaugh could be there for decades.

What I'm seeing is that improper precedents often come home to roost. As an example, today Biden's "kids in cages" tally exceeds the highest number under Trump and rising fast. MSM may allow the White House to claim "they're not in cages" but they're separated from parents in the same facilities the Trump admin used. So where is the 24/7 outcry? The public will get to hear about this even if MSM stays silent, with distrust of corporate media fertilized by the apparent partisanship. An onslaught of "double standard" accusations could turn out to be just as damaging as the Russia accusations against Trump except with more of a basis this time.
