MORE: Ford attorneys did NOT draw hardly any red lines in the list of requests. Those were mostly asks and appear to be negotiable, sources say. The only red lines: Ensuring her safety and making sure she’s NOT in the same room as Kavanaugh. Both sides say it was productive call

Perfectly fair.

It’s actually the opposite of fair and in direct contradiction to 500 years of Anglo-American jurisprudence

It's not a criminal trial. It's a character witness hearing for a high-level job search.

You cannot possibly believe it acceptable to have someone accused of an appalling act testify first before having a chance to jusitify or explain themselves. If you do, then God help you.

Actually I agree with you on that part. She should testify first so he can answer the accusations she raises.

Okay. I was alarmed for a sec- you’re a 19th century US historian- so the notion of indifference to that raised by hackles for a sec.

I wasn't sure what you were getting at initially...Sorry! But, yes, it's a no-brainer that she should go first. I'm not actually sure why her lawyer is making that demand. I think she wants to make sure he's gone from the premises when she arrives but I'm just guessing.

This is well into the Twilight Zone now. A decent human being would have removed themselves from consideration by this time. The awfulness factor is gonna be off the charts if this goes all the way.

Any other person interviewing for a job would be out. Can't imagine the other justices are excited about this POS joining their ranks. The already have that POS Thomas.

Literally it's a claim to a drunken high school party 30+ years ago. No witnesses. No corroborating evidence. And the whole thing was rolled out in the most political way possible. Show me evidence and I'll agree. So far theres not a shred implicating Kavanagh.

None of us know the truth. But who puts their life, family, reputation of full display and request investigations into this if there is no truth to it? This lady has had a successful career and life it appears, shes not going to risk everything.

Shes a leftist hack surrounded by far leftist activists. Am I saying she was never assaulted? No. But trashing this guys life the way its been is disgraceful. Had the dems brought this up in committee over a month ago when they got the letter id be singing a much different tune

Left , right doesn't matter. The truth whether it comes from either side is what is needed. She requested anonymity when Feinstein received her letter. I believe Ronan Farrow broke the story ? and she then came forward. So your timeline is not correct.

Safety guaranteed? What does that mean? Why wouldn't she be safe?

She’s had to move herself & her family out of her home & hire a security detail bc she’s receiving death threats. It’s not a big ask to be assured there will be proper safety nets in place for her when she’s there, all things considered. We all know there are whack jobs out there
