This sort of rhetoric is silly. Nobody is deciding that Kavanaugh is guilty, he is not in a criminal trial and his freedom is not at risk. The stakes for him personally are very low. I mean it is clear that he very, very badly wants to be on the Supreme Court, but he is claiming people are trying to trying his life. If he fails to be confirmed he get to remain a well compensated judge on a very respected court. I understand that he would be disappointed but this rhetoric is way overblown.

It's only one that says it happened and 4 that say it either did not or they have no recollection. What everyone is up in arms about is a juvenile offense that in the rare case that it actually went to trial at the time of the alleged offense (the prosecutor said this would have never seen a court or even had a search warrant issued) would have likely resulted in a deferred sentence and would have been expunged from his record before his 21st birthday. But here you are 36 years later talking with absolute certainty of this man's guilt, in spite of the evidence and in spite of a career with no hint of indiscretion.
The committee is charged with looking at each candidate with a microscope, but they go too far when they use a proctoscope. The Democrats are not interested in the truth, they are only interested in delaying the vote. That is why they withheld the information until the last minute and why they violated everyone's confidentiality to leak the information to the press rather than produce it in the original FBI background check when it could have been handled appropriately. Destroying numerous families for their own personal advantage is reprehensible and borderline criminal (if you have knowledge of sexual assault on a minor in the states of California or Maryland, you are legally obligated to report it). DiFi and her colleagues are appalling.
