I have no doubt about that.

But it would completely change her life forever. Worse than Anita Hill, due to social media. If she stays away she can be a Harriet Miers type, a harmless footnote.

I hope she is strong enough. I would prefer to be Anita Hill today than an Anita Hill who has had to face nearly 30 years of regret that she didn't tell her story, while wondering what would have happened if she did.

Anita Hill will be viewed positively in history and so would Ford. This white right wing liar era won't be viewed kindly.
