This is a particularly interesting situation, where the only possible "punishment" Kavanaugh will face is maybe having to stay in his existing lifetime appointment to the federal bench, instead of getting a promotion. And, of course, had he been convicted of this at the time (ha, there's zero chance of that at the time or for someone like him) he would never have gotten where he is.
The Republican Party's view is that it is a massive failure if they have to appoint any candidate other than a rapid ideologue. It is what their base demands and they have promised. A sensible and rational center-right moderate is the disaster they fear.
