After all, process integrity and improvement is what I do for a living.
The process here will resolve nothing. Eyewitness testimony is extremely unreliable for alleged crimes that have occurred recently. For allegations 36 years old? Barring the miraculous appearance of solid evidence the FBI will have no choice but to rule it’s inconclusive. Just like 1991. And with far worse repercussions.
I disagree, this is a "Cosmic War" we are fighting here, and cosmic wars are always imagined and projected onto reality. When there is a sense of unfairness the cosmic war flares up.
Having a system of process may not stop the underlying conflict but it does stoke down the fires of the imagined / projected cosmic war while a sense of unfairness, of breaking the process does the opposite and stoke up the fires.
We have people posting / saying this type of stuff out there.
Of course their is going to be controversy with this Supreme Court pick no matter what happens in the hearings on Thursday and whether Kavanaugh is voted for or not. But not having a process that people feel is even close to the idea of fair really does remove legitmacy to the court system. People know the court is political, but there is a difference between recognizing something is political and still being neutral to an authority, vs seeing an authority as the opposite of right and having a negative view of the acceptance of this authority for you felt the process was "cheated."

Politics is nasty, it always has been and always will be. Strife sucks.
But when politics escalate to the cosmic war type language the world becomes far worse, for the struggle and strife never ends and it keeps on escalating.
What happens when politics becomes cosmic war is good government is impossible, and people lose trust in their institutions. We become reactionary and radicals.
You do the work of the process even if it is unlikely to change the outcome for if you do not it fuels "ressentiment," furthermore sometimes the process does change the outcome.
