Why Won't They Believe Women?

As most of you who are able to, we'll be watching the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford this morning beginning at 10 a.m. EST. Then this afternoon, accused party boy assaulter Brett "KavaNope" Kavanaugh will be testifying as to his choir boy character, and that all of the women accusers and individuals corroborating their accounts are liars. We sincerely hope the Dems come coordinated and prepared for that with guns blazing, given the fact that the Rethugs have limited their time to 5 minutes each. One question that should be asked of the Rethuglican Senators is "why won't you believe women?"

The shameful behavior of the Judiciary Committee's Rethuglican majority -- 11 middle aged to elderly white men hiding behind a female prosecutor asking their questions for them -- is exceeded in shamefulness by their plan to ignore Dr. Ford's testimony and ram through a Committee vote tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.  No FBI investigation of Ford's claims or those of the other two named accusers who have stepped forward.

Yesterday, week-kneed Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) got up on the Senate floor for what many thought would be a call to slow the process down to allow an investigation of the charges. True to form, he delivered a "can't we all just get along" spiel where he talked about both Ford and Kavanaugh as "human beings." Profile in vacuity. That's the measure of the "concerned" Rethugs who will whine about what a tough spot they're in, then vote to confirm KavaNope.
