Here you have put your finger on the nail. No decent person who is qualified to do anything would subject himself to the confirmation bullshit, going through your background with a fine-tooth comb and making stuff available to a senate committee to rip you to shreds in public.
Of course our lovely invertebrate class of GOPeeers would never think to fight fire with fire and subject democrats to whithering questions about made-up personal background until the Senate rules are changed on such nonsense.
A Patriot would do it.
