If it was not a lifetime commitment to the highest court, would be a he said she said sad case. making sure we don't put someone on that court who's behavior has come into question in many areas not just sexual. is worth some extra days of fact checking. to big of a deal to allow it to be party over country, that's both sides.
But to accuse a person after the confirmation hearings are over and prior to the committee vote is political bullshit and should not be acceptable. If you have a grievance against the nominee for whatever reason then you need to put it out there before the committee starts the hearings so that the nominee has the chance to rebut whatever is said and the committee has the chance to investigate the matter. And the President has the opportunity to pull the nomination and go with somebody else. IMHO if you wait until after the hearings start then whatever you've got to say can be considered by the full Senate but not in the Judiciary Committee. And that oughta be in the rules.
