I actually wrote "impartial" advisedly. IMHO @DavidLat has become part of the #Kavanaugh story in a way that his colleagues have not. See, e.g. https://abovethelaw.com/2018/09/above-the-laws-dangerous-love-of-federal-judges/ … I commend his #perjury posts, but the recent allegations are of a different character. Leave it to the FBI.https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1040338876857049088 …
If the claims turn out to be serious and well-supported, @SenFeinstein could look bad if she didn't refer earlier because (1) she didn't believe them or (2) she didn't think them serious enough. But again, it's too early; let's wait and see.
