Cory Booker: It Doesn’t Matter If Kavanaugh Is ‘Innocent or Guilty’

BOOKER: "So my hope is that just beyond the vicious partisan rancor that is going on, beyond the accusations, we don't lose sight of what this moral moment is about in this country. And ultimately ask ourselves the question: is this the right person to sit on the highest court in the land for a lifetime appointment? When their credibility has been challenged by intimates, people that knew the candidate well as a classmate. When his temperament has been revealed in an emotional moment where he used language that that frankly shocked a lot of us. And then ultimately, not whether he's innocent or guilty, this is not a trial but ultimately have enough questions been raised that we should not move on to another candidate and that long list put together by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, move on to another candidate because ultimately the Supreme Court is not an entitlement. Just because you went to Yale or president in your class doesn't entitle you to the Supreme Court. This is a sacred institution and the people that should be on it whether you disagree with their political or judicial philosophy at all, the people who should be on the Supreme Court should preserve the integrity of the court and be beyond the reproach of these difficult partisan times."
