If one owns up to the transgression and explains how they made poor decisions in the past and how their actions through the years prove they are a changed person then things might be different. No one is saying they do not believe in redemption for past mistakes.

It is the pattern of lying Kavanaugh has exhibited throughout the nomination process that is the problem. He knew about hacked emails, he worked on Pryor's campaign, he was known for getting drunk, he was part of a group of kids that bragged about getting laid, he said he believes in settled law (but brags to like minded conservatives that laws can be changed and challenged), ...

He is an idiot for not owning up to the fact he IS a conservative with a partying past. He is not fooling anyone but he continues to lie. He is therefore not fit for the Supreme Court bench.
