The comparison of temporary elections vs. lifetime appointments is certainly an important distinction. For Apples to Oranges reasons, let's compare Fairfax to any elected Republican accused of sexual assault.
For those as old as me, I lost respect for NOW when they sided with Bill Clinton and threw several women under the bus to protect him from accusations. NOW was supposed to protect women, not concede to rape for political reasons. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in.
Did Kavanaugh do as Ford said? Probably. Was it "attempted rape"? Doubtful considering the circumstances. Would it be considered sexual assault under 21st Century rules? Most definitely. Under 1980s rules? No.
There's a basic difference between what a person did 20-30 years ago in college and what they do today. I do not believe Kavanaugh should have been condemned for his actions as a high schooler or a college student just like I don't believe Northam should be condemned for those actions. It's what they've done in the past 20-30 years that matter.
That said, I believe Kavanaugh was less than honest under oath during his confirmation and that alone is enough to deny him a seat on the bench if Senators believed likewise.

A sex crime had nothing to do with the opposition to Kavanaugh. Since it was the excuse, Fairfax should get the same treatment from the Dems as they gave Kavanaugh. Whatever else happens they need to do the same for both. Otherwise, it was all a lie as non-Democrats saw it to be.

When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

A lifetime appointment and a four year term is irrelevant. No one guilty of a crime should be serving a public office. Saying it is just a two-faced response.
