Accusations are not evidence. They are accusations.

Truth has nothing to do with it.
"You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women, If you admit to anything and any culpability, then you're dead."

Truth has everything to do with it for me, and unfortunately, in this case we likely won't ever know the truth. And in this country, according to our vision of justice, when we can't establish what happened, we treat the accused as if he's innocent. That's our system, and sometimes it's tough to swallow, but we don't apply it selectively. Again, that's exactly why Lady Justice has the blindfold.

And if the democrats want to establish that an accusation is enough to establish guilt, what do they suspect will happen when they are in the majority, and they want to fill SCOTUS seats? Are they this short-sighted?

I think without term and contribution limits this will never end.
