I want to thank Prof. Ford for her bravery. I can only imagine the trauma & heartache involved in sharing & reliving a sexual assault like this—she should know that I and millions of people are standing by her side and stand ready to help however we can.
This week’s Judiciary Committee vote on Judge Kavanaugh should be delayed. It’s not a debatable or difficult decision.
The fact is that Senators now have new information about a potential crime committed by a nominee for the highest court in the land and an accuser who has come forward with details of the alleged criminal act.
It would be inconceivable & abhorrent to hold a vote on this nominee in the coming days—we need time to evaluate this new information and give it the scrutiny it deserves. Anything less would be an absolute abdication of the Senate’s constitutional advice & consent role.
