60. If Biden had scuttled a nomination because of unproven

Harassment allegations, the outcome would not have been any different.

You know, the same thing could be done to a Democrat and I have a feeling it would be interpreted differently here.

The real reason to vote against Thomas was not because of this allegation but because of his record (and lack of), his positions and his lack of experience.

This issue actually resulted in some civil rights organizations supporting Thomas simply because he was a black American. Had the issues been about his record and not unproven allegations, he might have lost that vote, but that's not what happened.
