It doesn't work this way. The purpose of the meetings, hearings, pre-vote discussion are to identify any issues BEFORE the vote takes place. The truth needs to come out. He needs to take a lie detector test. The other boy present also needs to take a lie detector test.

He needs to testify about going to that party and give explanation on what occurred. He needs to testify about his interaction with the accuser when they were in high school. None if this has been discussed. It's important.

What if he really attempted rape and committed sexual assault. He could be biased in Supreme Court rulings. Let it be investigated further so the truth comes out.

If the GOP allows Kavanaugh's vote to occur before this is investigated and before the accuser is allowed to testify, this could cause a lot of women to vote against the GOP in the November mid-term elections.

I had a high school male coach sexually assault me in his office at school decades ago. I was 16. I never told anyone in authority, just my boyfriend who was in college, when it happened and only told a few friends and my parents about it years later. I have no evidence other than sharing the harrowing experience with a few people over the years. It happened.

Let her tell her story. if she is lying she will be found out. If she is not lying, this is not inconsequential information for a potential supreme court judge.

It's amazing how the hard core Trumpies here will dismiss this woman's accusations and call her a ho...but then again what do you expect from them when they discarded Trump's accusers and voted for him anyways.

even though this alleged incident happened 30 plus years ago, Ms. Ford deserves to be heard, if she desires, and any evidence weighed.
Sen. Feinstein has once again proven herself a scoundrel. If she was serious about this, she should have brought Ms. Ford forward to testify.

Well there goes Kavanaugh. Who is next on Trump's list, and was he or she fully vetted?

Edit: She. The next nominee needs to be a she. You can't do a last minute #metoo to a she.

Don't be so fast. The half of the country with common sense says otherwise.

What a crock of baloney Ford is peddling. Does anyone in his right mind believe for a minute that she didn't plan to identify herself (or be identified)? Why the hell did she write a letter to Feinstein if she didnt want to be the next Anita Hill? Give me a break.

Ms. Ford did not want herself to be brought forward. Until now. So let her testify.

Until 5 days before confirmation? Me thinks Feinstein, as always, is a California nut full of shi*. I say scre* the Democrats, confirm him and don't give them any say, as they have played themselves out of the deal.
