Kavanaugh's Accusers Crumble

Some stunning developments.  It seems that even after Chuck Grassley bent over backwards to give Dr. Ford a chance to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, she has now declined.  Byron York, over The Examiner gives a good timeline of the events from the past week.

Evidently, Dr. Ford thinks that next Monday is too early to testify.
Banks suggested Ford is simply not emotionally ready to appear. "Since coming forward, her life has been turned upside down," 
Just exactly what did she think was going to happen?  Dr. Ford is a PhD professor of psychology, so she should at least have an inkling of the processes involved.  Also, she's 51 years old, so she should have had time to process whatever incident may or may not have occurred.  I mean, c'mon.  You make the accusation at the last minute, and you're not willing to testify about it?

 Senator Feinstein, of course, is a complete piece of work.  Now, she's complaining about a rushed process and questioning the veracity of the accuser.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee who has known about the Ford allegation since July, complained of a "rushed process." But Feinstein fed an atmosphere of uncertainty Tuesday when she said of Ford's allegation: "I can't say everything's truthful. I don't know."
This is looking more and more like a Democrat kerfluffle to delay the appointment of an esteemed jurist simply because the Democrats don't like his judicial philosophy.  Others are calling this despicable tactic as being reminiscent of Berea and Stalin's tactics, but I don't go that far.

Apparently there is NO actual time/place/date of occurrence specified, and the 'original' mention to her counsellor was of FOUR men, none of whom were identified by name. What happened to the 5Ws and H rule of questions?

Feinstein sat on the letter for something like 7 weeks. So Ford had almost 2 months to brace for the storm, and she's still "not ready?"

Sounds like she'd be a good candidate for mayor of New Orleans.

This is a genuine kick in the teeth for the Feinstein and the rest of the goons:
