This would be an unfortunate attitude to take on the accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh: These are nothing but character assassinations, but let us go ahead and have a hearing, anyway -- so we can say we heard them out -- but then let us quickly vote to confirm him.
If you don't want character assassinations, if you don't want someone's life to be wrongfully ruined, you seek the truth. You investigate. You do what you can to determine which of the two sides is honest.
Both sides deserve that there be an investigation. Truth deserves as much. We cannot hold a perfunctory hearing, then simply vote Kavanaugh in, and say justice has been served.
