For her this may be the moment of her freedom from the actions of this despicable, loathsome prick.
She will handle their manipulative snotty questions with ease and IMO she will be ready with a line which is similar in effect to Joseph Welch's line at the Army-McCarthy hearings, "Have you no decency....". It will be the takeaway for the decade...
The Rethugs deserve a verbal napalming for all of this...please let it be so.
(I had a moment in my life wherein I wreaked revenge and havoc on a horrible, hulking bully from grade school. When I was engaged many years ago, I drove up to my old stomping grounds and was waiting in line at a now-closed Dairy Bar and Restaurant called Goodnoe's. Those from the northeastern suburbs of Philly will recognize the name. Anyway, while waiting in line, this big guy comes up to us and asks, "Is your name ------------?" I replied "yes' and he introduced himself.
I turned to my fiancee and said almost exactly the following: You see this guy standing in front of you? He made my life nearly impossible for three years, from grades two to five, shoving me around, punching me, shooting paper clips from rubber bands, and face-washing me in the snow which once broke my glasses. But what I really remember him for is that my mother bought me a pair of loafers with tassels on them and he called me a "faggot" for a year, even though I had no idea what that was, and told everyone that I was that.
The look on his face was one of stunned disbelief, and I said, "Geoffrey, take all six foot four of yourself and get the fuck away from me and don't ever get near me again. Did you think I'd forget what you did to me all those years? Oh, and one more thing, you're just as ugly as I remember you in every way."
(As an aside, please allow me to say that I never told anyone of his bullying due to the shame I thought it would bring me as well as retribution if he were ever to be punished for it. This included my Mom, since she'd have gone absolutely bullshit on the administration of the school and the teachers - she was one no-nonsense lady. So I know full well why someone chooses not to go to the authorities when damaged.)
This week I hope she (metaphorically of course) cuts his nuts off.

(18 posts)Version 1: Grassley would fold if Professor Ford said she would immediately press charges for attempted rape on both Kavanaugh and Mr. Judge if her terms were not met. Statute of Limitations have not expired where the attempted rape occured.
Version 2: Wait until he is confirmed ( if he makes it ) and then press charges. When he goes down, you get two for one. The Judgeship and the Supreme Court are then both captured. The benefit is that when the Dems win the Senate they control the pick, effectively stealing the SCOTUS back by trading Merrick for Kavanaugh.
