The issue is whether any sitting US senator, per their oath of office, and per their constitutional duty to advise and consent, should vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.
They need not be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of the sexual misconduct allegations and/or whether he lied under oath.
They have to assess the totality of the information before them and make a judgment.
[BTW, I presume you are aware of professionals -- doctors, lawyers, nurses,etc, who although never criminally prosecuted, lost their license to practice or were sanctioned for misconduct.]
