The rhetoric over here about this whole thing is at fever pitch and once again dividing the country even more. Have yet to come across a democrat that doesn’t believe and support Ford, nor a Republican who doesn’t support Kavanaugh!! She is a whore and liar, he is a rapist and sexual predator is the type of stuff going around. Problem is neither characterizations are right and this is a classic case of he said, she said and there can be no proof entered by either to prove their assertions. Not sure what the FBI will find, but I would think they will say that there is no evidence of an assault by him on her.
The likely upshot is this will go to a vote in Congress and it will come down to the one or two Republicans who are wavering to stand up and develop a backbone and vote to not confirm him. Even before all this I never thought he was suitable anyway, he is far to right wing and far too politically biased to be a SC judge. I expect a Republican president to appoint right leaning judges, but this guy is right out on the fringes of the right.
