Yes, should continue, unless evidence becomes incontrovertible, in which case the White House would pull his nomination, and Kavanaugh would become subject to criminal proceedings. Unless that happens, our system is innocent until proven guilty. We can't just go around and accuse people of things and then have their lives be ruined without proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The alternative is complete and total lawlessness.
I should add that this issue has become politicized, and it's between two groups of people with two different philosophies. If you're a Democrat, Kavanaugh is a rapist who shouldn't be confirmed. If you're a Republican, Kavanaugh is innocent and this woman was pulled out of the woodwork at the eleventh hour, in a desperate bid to stop Kavanaugh being confirmed. This is a person's personal and professional life at stake, whether you agree with his textualist Constitutional philosophical interpretation or you disagree with it. That has nothing to do with whether he sexually assaulted someone when he was eighteen at a college party.
We need to keep level heads about this, and be careful how we proceed. People are letting their personal political philosophy and agenda get in the way of their judgement, and that is not good.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
