Any woman’s identity should not have to be revealed to take her story seriously and pursue justice for her. Any charge of sexual assault is serious if proven true an absolute disqualifying reason not to gain a Supreme Court seat for a lifetime appointment.

Conservative groups pressing for Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation insist there should be no delay in the confirmation process call this nothing more than a last-minute attempt at character assassination.

The FBI has not opened a criminal investigation into the matter, but added the letter to Judge Kavanaugh’s background file and sent an updated file to the White House and then to Capitol Hill, where it will be kept in the office of the chairman for review by senators.

Senators themselves had little to say publicly about the accusations.

Christine Blasey-Ford came forward publicly over the weekend, putting her name behind accusations that had been shared with the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee on the condition that she remain anonymous.
Ms. Katz, Ford’s lawyer, told NBC on Monday that Dr. Blasey-Ford believes what she said Mr. Kavanaugh did to her was attempted rape.

On Monday, a White House spokeswoman reiterated Judge Kavanaugh’s denial of the incident.

“On Friday, Judge Kavanaugh ‘categorically and unequivocally’ denied this allegation,” his spokeswoman, Kerri Kupec, said in a statement. “This has not changed. Judge Kavanaugh and the White House both stand by that statement.”

Advisers to the president have privately urged Mr. Trump, who has been accused of sexual harassment by more than a dozen women, not to address the allegations on Twitter, his favorite public platform. Ha big joke, but Trump appears mute at this point – seen here.

Stay tuned – this ain’t over yet – bet on it… thanks for stopping by.
