If this were the case I certainly would want my name cleared before I went forward with the nomination.
First, it makes no sense to draw a distinction between my hypothetical and the matter in question based on the fact a political appointment is at stake. If anything, that makes them more questionable, not less. Is it your position that she should be given the benefit of the doubt because the guy is a SCOTUS nominee? I'm seriously asking, because it sounds like that's what your position is, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Now, try to stay on track here. No one is disagreeing with the fact that this is needs to be resolved. But what the heck does that have to do with who deserves the benefit of the doubt?
Also, you do realize that time is of the essence as it pertains to said nomination, right? I mean, if this is held up until after November, Kavanaugh's (or your nomination in your proposed hypothetical) nomination is in jeopardy. So, Kavanaugh/you want this resolved ASAP. Kavanaugh has offered to be heard. The one holding this up is the victim, for some inexplicable reason.
