Should Kavanaugh take a polygraph?

Apparently he hasn't taken one with respect to Ford's charges against him, even though he considers them an important tool of law enforcement.

First polygraphs are not dependable. Second we should not set a precedent that judges have to take polygraphs. Third if he did maybe Ford would coach him because evidently she has coached people to cheat them in the past.

@AnneHoney Kavanaugh himself has written (as a judge) that polygraphs are a valuable tool ...

@jackjjackson Only in the sense that Snopes set up a straw man to knock down.

Nobody is claiming, as snopes is claiming they are claiming, that Kavanaugh said polygraphs can "be taken as gospel" - only that they are widely used investigative tool that have value. Which is what Kavanaugh did write.

@AnneHoney Are you saying Snopes or me? Because if it is Snopes, then I agree.
