After the horseshit the Republicans pulled with Garland I don't mind the political tactics, but I do believe a person has the right to face their accuser. He and the committee at least deserve to hear her speak and give her side of the story even if there are no follow up questions asked.

"Third, as long as Ford’s counsel want to talk about regular, independent investigations, we should note that there is not a police organization in America that would entertain her allegation, in light of the lapse of time and the long-ago exhaustion of the statute of limitations. Professional investigators understand only too well the inherent unreliability of allegations raised in the manner Ford’s have been raised. The only relevance of this alleged incident is to a Senate function, so it is for the Senate committee to decide how to proceed."
