Within a half hour of the Ramirez accusations appearing in the New Yorker on line, senator Feinstein called for cancellation of any further hearings for Kavanaugh and sending the whole mess to the FBI (which of course won't investigate it.)
It's hard to imagine a more transparent political charade than this. Dr. Ford's story collapses. All the supposed witnesses to what happened support Kavanaugh. Now, Kavanaugh has found his calendars from the summer of 1982 that show that he was out of town with his parents for nearly all the summer. The events that are detailed in his calendar for the remainder of the summer of 1982 don't match anything like the party Ford described. In other words, Ford is either confused or lying. Nothing happened with Kavanaugh. At that point, the Democrats can't have Ford testify. That would make it clear to America that Kavanaugh is vindicated. As a result, right on schedule, the second woman comes forward. This one took six days of talking with her lawyer before she could remember for sure that Kavanaugh supposedly exposed himself to her while she was dead drunk as a freshman in college. And just like that, the Democrats demand that the hearings be cancelled.
I hope Grassley and the other Republicans have the courage to hold Thursday's hearings and to let America watch the Ford story get demolished. Then, I hope they just go ahead and vote on the nomination. These last minute games by the Dems should not be allowed to blacken the name of a good man nor stop the process to put him on the Supreme Court.
