Obviously the committee needs to control the process, someone will and if not them then who?

No more justice here? No more presumption of innocence?
Look what they did to Clarence Thomas. Look what they did to Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson. Look what they did to Roy Moore.
If these women refuse to speak up for 36 years, and then remain silent when the FBI did those 6 exhaustive background checks on Kavanaugh, when will we begin to identify false witnesses and punish them?
The #MeToo movement was entirely predicated on powerful men preying on young women vying for jobs which these same powerful men could provide them. Think Harvey Weinstein of Miramax. That is the sole reason these young girls remained silent. Their careers were at stake.
A teenage Kavanaugh, however, had nothing to offer these woman to prevent them from reporting these crimes. Even if similar sexual "crimes" were reported, or any crime for that matter, and Kavanaugh was acquitted, either as a juvenile or an adult, then there would be some credibility to their complaints. But there has been none of that. By every account, examined 6x by the best investigative agents in the world, this judge led an exemplary and perfectly squeaky clean life until Senate hearings were concluded.
