I believe, as most DU did back in September, that Kavanaugh should not have been seated to the Supreme Court for the very credible accusations leveled against him. That was prior to the sham investigation, too, which was absurd and offensive.

Fairfax is toxic and harming his position in government. He's lost all credibility. It sucks - but that's the most basic tenant of governing and once you lose it, the right thing to do is step aside. I've believed this for Republicans and I certainly believe it for Democrats. Any defense of him not resigning is just hypocrisy.
