The real issue here is that this woman Dr. Ford was never cross-examined. They have never examined her life and background. She has mental health issues. Was she hypnotized into remembering Kavanaugh? Why are her lawyers Democratic operatives? There are serious legal issues here unresolved.
Without due process, every so-called government "job interview" can be squashed by one person's accusation, even if you never met the person. All they have to prove is that they once lived in the same state.

I don't think any of that is "the real issue". To me the real issue is this process. A person is nominated to this post, obviously a great honor for someone who is a judge. The criteria for confirmation should not be a political football. They should create the prerequisites they are expecting in a Supreme Court Justice, and they should identify Felonies and maybe even misdemeanors as being cause for rejection.
IMO one week from now nothing will have changed. The FBI will not present a report that makes their previous background checks look like keystone cops, so no allegation will be substantiated. He will not be accused or tried for any crime. Yet his name and reputation will be forever damaged, as will Dr. Ford's. No Democrat is going to change their position because all the allegations will still be out there and the cry will be that one week is not enough time. All but 2 Republicans will not change their opinion. So then if he is approved all the Pro choicers will be screaming in outrage when in reality this should never have been done in public. If he is denied confirmation the Pro Life, Pro Trump portion of the US will be screaming in outrage and there is nothing that could have motivated them to come out and vote and ignore all the convictions of Cohen, etc. like this.
