Chrsitine Blasey Ford - DO NOT TESTIFY MONDAY
Christine Blasey Ford has no obligation to testify in the hearing Monday. She should absolutely stand her ground that an investigation be conducted first and foremost.
Her testifying in a hearing before politicians/lawmakers is ABSOLUTELY the WRONG FORUM in which for her to speak about, assuming it to be true, such a deeply disturbing situation. What we do know is that the hearing will surely degrade into a character assassination of a woman and/or a man both of whom should be appearing and discussing the details of the event(s) that allegedly took place in front of authorities (police, FBI, whatever appropriate agency should investigate) so personal accounts can be properly documented, witnesses interviewed and versions of the events properly evaluated as to what, if anything, should be done with truth being sought and charges being filed, as appropriate.
In NO WAY should she appear, testify and answer questions by senators with political and professional (and some personal) agendas. This is NOT the time, nor place, no forum to explore what did/did not happen.
This hearing, should it happen and she testify, will be embarrassing, disturbing and degrading for everyone; Kavanaugh, Ford, Committee Members who will disgrace themselves as much as Kavanaugh and Ford and all Americans as to how we conduct ourselves and will be a complete mockery of our process, government and character.
Everyone, Republicans and Democrats, delay this confirmation and give this the appropriate attention it deserves.
Shame... shame... shame on anyone who thinks she should testify in this forum and this confirmation hearing shouldn’t be delayed.
