The claims of both parties should be taken seriously, investigated and truthfulness determined on evidence.

This is an oversimplification. While being a vast improvement over the "he said / she said" crap so many pundits mouthed in the early going, it omits the procedural rules designed to protect the rights of the accused. The Judiciary Committee is being asked to adjudicate a crime. At the same time, Democrats are making all kinds of demands at variance with criminal procedure. On procedural grounds, Dr. Ford's complaint should be dismissed without even being heard. It's not timely. There is no coherent narrative of what was supposed to have happened. With all the absurd demands being made, it has all the appearance of a politically motivated smear of a kind we've seen before.
