Maybe his only chance is to ask for forgiveness and say it was him being an idiot/asshole as a young man. A lot of people would probably give him a pass, having been idiots themselves, or just because he was young. It matters how horrific the stories are from other women. I think it would be an uphill battle for Kavanaugh. People might accept his apology, and be forgiving to him the person, but being ok with him holding a position on the Supreme Court is another thing. I’m thinking about Roman Polanski, who actually raped the girl (statutory rape and had drugged her) and he was convicted, of maybe he plead guilty to a Lessie crime I don’t remember exactly. The woman herself (she was 13 at the time and he a grown adult) years later didn’t want him to serve time for the crime, and wanted the judicial system to drop it.
