remains. The real damage to GOP and Kavanuagh will be their vicious personal attacks on Dr Ford, just like Annita Hill was attacked. The blow back will be huge against GOP for sure who are losing more and more female voters each day.

when she described it during a therapy session with her husband 6 years ago.

A 30-year-old diary would be nice, but not of please-god urgency. In any case, she's said she told no one until that session. It is what it is.

If we want to pray for something, maybe for another girl to come forward? I'm not suggesting Kavanaugh's a serial rapist, but he was a jock in what that all-boy school's yearbook makes clear was an inappropriately licentious environment, and there may be other stories that are not flattering.

Look what Suzy Collins said about Al Franken:

Collins: Franken allegations ‘credible, disgusting and appalling’

And Franken did not try to remove the woman's clothing, or lay on top of them, or shut them up by putting his hand over the woman's mouth.

So logic dictates, that if the charge against Kavanaugh is ‘credible, disgusting and appalling’ , which they appear to be, Collins will vote against Kavanaugh. Right?

We will have to shut people down who claim the need for a diary. At 15, she would feel too freaked out to write it down. It would be something that would fester. And once she learned the guy became a powerful judge, it would really eat her up. The fact that this came out in couples therapy might mean she has trust issues. I feel for her husband as well.

ago. If so, that could back up her story. It will show that she shared that experience before he was being considered for the Supreme Court.
