Our own sense is that Senator Dianne Feinstein, whose driver of 20 years was a Chinese spy, was using the Blasey-Ford accusation to taint Kavanaugh, not actually derail the nomination.
Even Senator Feinstein doubts the veracity of some of the professor's claims.
In response Judge Kavanaugh said, 'Sure. I'll testify under oath. Let's do it.'
We are reminded of John O'Neill, president of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, 'If Senator Kerry think's I've slandered him he should build a case and sue me,' said the trial lawyer with 30 years experience.
Being a prof, Maybe Blasey-Ford thought she could #Metoo Kavanaugh through a Title-9 style kangaroo court.
In any event we agree with the analysis at Hotair, that this entire event is about to blowup.
One a side note about the Supreme Court what would you say to mandatory terms verus a life long tenure. I am not talking a few years or even an election cycle...I am thinking 16 years or so...no more than 20. Give them a defined term of service and not have them senile and in the saddle.
