The whole thing is a political charade. It's taken bi partisanship to a dangerous brink, where 'belief' is all that matters and not suprisingly everyone 'believes' there own side, and pretends, even to themselves, they are not playing a nasty political game.
He has been a very high ranking judge for many years wouldn't this assault have been very relevant to his position even then?
We all know that Dr Ford has come forward now because she wants to stop him being a supreme court justice and presumably she disagrees with his political position.
The democrats used this info at the last moment (they had the information thruouhout the hearings and didn't use it) to upend a political appointment and not because they are so concerned about 'victims'. she is just a convienient 'victim'.
The republicans are not doing what they should be doing which is looking at the facts and establishing if there is any corroborating evidence, rather than undermining her testimony.
Then if there not any corroborating facts at all, and it remains just an accusation he denies, it should be dropped as relevant to his appointment, otherwiese we will be in the position of that tweet above, where just any accusation without any evidence is accepted, in decision making on peoples lives.
This move to belief over facts, and every accusation being believed could lead to dangerous witch hunts. and ultimately is not good for women who are victims of sexual assault.
I say all this as someone who thinks BK is a nasty entitled man whose politics I oppose, and I suspect is lying. But without supporting evidence my belief is and should be irrelevant.
