You're so worried about Kavanaugh's life being destroyed yet what about the vitcims life IF the allegations are true her life is far more "destroyed" but the right who speaks about wanting the truth already made up their minds without allowing the FBI to do their duty without an actual investigation... The president is so concerned about the truth I still haven't seen the WH issue the direction to the FBI to do it's job.
Dr. Ford is under no obligation to talk to the senate committee moral or legal in public or private and for you to demand that she does so before an organized investigation is conducted is the same as not caring about the truth in order to pencil whip a nom through the house, ya you want the truth alright nah you want a hardcore conservative in the SC at least be honest with us and yourself.
It's kind of funny how Dr. Ford is accused of lying and being set up by the right, yet they have the power to demand the best people in the world find out as much as they can.
For some really strange and odd reason the women the right accuses of lying wants these people to investigate and the right who claims to want the truth doesn't want them to investigate and would very much rather try and ram Kavanaugh's nom through the house...
Critical thinking is important even if almost entirely missing from this forum.
The right is shitty their pants about 2 things
1) Trump massively fuck the republicans and they party is shitting their pants at the thought of a wave of blue in the MT's and are desperate to get Kavanaugh in knowing this may be their last nom they can force through LOL
2) The right is worried the women isn't lying and having the FBI involved in that scenario really isn't going to turn out well for the right.
A few points:
1) Assuming Ford's allegation true, there's no suggestion of a federal crime, and the statute of limitations for the state crime is likely also long passed. The FBI has no independent authority to investigate this claim unless the president requests it. Why should the president do so if the accuser is unwilling to testify under oath to the Senate and answer some questions about her accusation?
2) You are correct that Ms. Ford is has no moral or legal obligation to talk to the senate in public or private. However, she has implied through her lawyer that she wants the Senate to consider her accusation before appointing Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. If she truly wants this she should testify and present her information. If she chooses not to testify the Senate should proceed to a vote without her information.
3) My own motivation is that I would like a SC nominee that respects the constitution especially the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. Kavanaugh's not my first choice I liked Amy Barrett better but like earlier posters I think we could do far worse. If it can be proven that he is a lier and sexual predator then we would need someone better. However, I am currently sceptical of this accusation and suspect a partisan ploy. I would like to see Ms. Ford testify in the hopes that the truth of the matter reveals itself.
