I would rather that Kavenaugh was refused his appointment because of his record but it appears that thousands of pages of that record are being withheld from consideration.

It would be the same as Kavanaugh. I would have to show that it wasn't me.

That is not how it works in our judicial system.
The accuser must have enough evidence to bring a case. The burden of proof is on the accuser.
You can't just accuse someone of something with no evidence and then put the burden on them to prove innocence.
“Let me be clear: We will disclose the client’s name and accusations only when SHE is ready and we have adequate security measures in place. And not a moment before that,” Avenatti tweeted. “It is her choice and hers alone as to when to surface bc it is her life. We expect it within the next 36 hrs.”

This is what Avenatti said, as quoted by Breitbart:

“Let me be clear: We will disclose the client’s name and accusations only when SHE is ready and we have adequate security measures in place. And not a moment before that,” Avenatti tweeted. “It is her choice and hers alone as to when to surface bc it is her life. We expect it within the next 36 hrs.”
The nomination process for Supreme Court is not a trial. People making accusations are not required to do anything more than be credible. Kavanaugh would like to be credible too but the decisive thing for him would be to disprove allegations against him.
The Senate Judiciary Committee exercises judgment based on what they hear and on political considerations. A huge outcry against Kavanaugh would doom his appointment. Politically.
