We Need to Hear From Christine Blasey Ford
Republicans are being unfair. I hope she testifies anyway.

n amoral political terms, Senate Republicans have been skillful in handling Christine Blasey’s Ford’s allegations that the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both in high school.
On Monday, when Senator Charles Grassley, head of the Judiciary Committee, announced that a hearing on Blasey’s allegations would be held in a week, it wasn’t immediately clear that neither she nor her lawyer had been consulted. “They sent out a notice of a hearing before they contacted her,” Senator Mazie Hirono, a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told me. Then, when Blasey and her lawyers balked at Republican terms — asking, entirely reasonably, that the F.B.I. first examine her story — Republicans acted as if she was being irrational and going back on her word.
“They’re all piling on to her, as though it’s the most outrageous thing in the world to ask for an F.B.I. investigation,” Hirono said.
Blasey has been put in a nightmarish position. She was terrified of the backlash that going public would bring. Now, reportedly in hiding with her family amid death threats, she’s living what seems like her worst-case scenario. People on the right, including the president’s son, are mocking and smearing her. And as she adjusts to her radically changed circumstances, Republicans have subjected her to an ultimatum. She can agree by Friday to recount one of her life’s defining traumas to hostile men on extremely short notice, or lose her chance to have the Senate consider her story.

Stupid is supposed to hurt.

Waaaaaa
Failing NYT is suddenly concerned about due process.
Mind you not for that of the accused - Brett Kavanaugh.
She doesn’t know where......
She doesn’t know when......
If those two factors cannot be ascertained, then there can be no investigation or any way to verify her truthfulness.
I, for one, have heard enough about this (at least one time) Party Girl.
She’s ok with covering up Clinton’s rapes and Keith Ellison’s abuse
I, for one, have heard enough about this (at least at one time) Party Girl.
“How does one dust for vomit “
But not Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey, Virginia Roberts, etc etc etc
The list is endless
But of course they never mattered to the cretins at “the times”
The Republicans have been asking her to testify.
That’s hardly “unfair”
Ridiculous, there is no shortage of drunken whores at the New York Times.
Even Trump wants to hear from her.
Its the Left that’s jumping through hoops to keep her from testifying.
She can easily get a first class plane ticket and a luxury hotel room to make her day of lying under oath pleasant.
Hear ya. Unfortunately she’s pretty much all we’ll be hearing about for quite some time.

Never knew you could tell the court when you were going to testify. Every case I have ever heard of, you testify when the court tells you it is time, not before, not after.
You had your fifteen minutes of fame now go home. BTW - your practice is now toast - who will trust you?
Not really.
If I was the victim of attempted rape I think I would not only know the day but at least hour as well and I would never forget where.
