        It's absurd that events of 36 years ago could be treated as if it happened few days ago.

        We're not trying to make events unhappened. We're trying to do something much simpler, ie, establish that the claimed incident ever happened. Dr Ford's name is in the public domain, yet no friend or schoolmates male or female has stepped forward to corroborate her story.

        Because she knows who assaulted her & has already recounted to her therapist in 2012 ... That’s one hell of a plan to create evidence 6 years ago...

        She told her partner & friends. 4 other people I believe. Also no one has a “right” to know. Anything about yourself it’s your prerogative to tell whatever you want about yourself. I’ve had someone stick their hand down my top at a Xmas party - I didn’t want to anyone to know.

        Also, it’s not rape. It was sexual battery I believe she’s claiming.

        Of course she prepared her remarks. That does not make her less honest. This is likely one of the most stressful times of her life. Where is our compassion for her? She's trying and it's up to all of us to decide if this should keep him off the bench or not. It's not a trial.

        If anybody thinks this woman is lying, you should feel ashamed of yourself then go ask all the women you love dearly if they have experienced #sexualassault or its threat, and then please apologize.

        She remembers in detail the allegation yet can’t answer questions of her own experience? An attorney’s Dream response. She’s been coached and the prosecutor knows this. She’s working around it that’s why her reps are showing her answers on the documents prepared for her.
