What I believe:
1) People who are sexually assaulted may never tell anyone. It’s a valid coping mechanism.
2) People who make accusations deserve to be heard.
3) Sen. Grassley has been more than fair giving Professor Ford her opportunity to be heard.

4) There should be no more delays. If Professor Ford doesn’t act by today’s deadline, the vote should take place Monday.
5) The accused are innocent until proven guilty.
6) Victims need not remember every detail to be credible.

7) Accusers can be inaccurate. Duke Lacrosse, UVA/Rolling Stones come to mind. Colin Kaepernick (having nothing to do with kneeling) in 2014 was accused of sexual assault. The press ran with it. His accuser made it up.
8) Accusers can be accurate. It is painful and difficult to tell a room of strangers what happened. But justice cannot be achieved any other way.
9) All of this is why I hope Professor Ford announces today she will testify. It’s the only fair way for the few Senators who haven’t made up their mind to judge this.
10) Further delay serves no purpose. It’s either time for Ford to speak, or time to vote. We should know 2day.
