so---- thinking about this mechanistically, what is the aim of a public congressional hearing? what do we hope to accomplish? no matter how I turn this, I cant see these proceedings as being a good mechanism for either (i) revealing truth, or (ii) resolving conflict

Wish ppl went beyond demanding an FBI investigation into allegations b4 the nomination vote. Is it too much to wish that the Senate would delegate this to an expert-led, nonpartisan, secretly conducted civil trbunal (whether with an adversarial or inquisitorial structure)?

Possibly. High risk move for both sides, I bet. :/
