Having this same conversation with a conservative friend on mine.

her: I dunno, the timing just seems weird, and this was all so long ago, lots of people do dumb things when they're kids...

me: yeah, you know I used to get really drunk when I was younger and dumb too.....

...though I never tried raping anyone.

I mean, people are acting like it's okay to be a 'former rapist' or something and still be on the fucking supreme court. Like, it doesn't count if you were only 17 at the time. He can continue living his despicable fuckin life, just maybe not as a lifetime member of the highest court in the land making decisions that affect hundreds of millions of people.
