Wrong.
I'll say it again...they have offered her to do it in open testimony (on live television like she originally wanted to do), and they have offered in CLOSED testimony, and they have offered to send staff members to her home to take her testimony in private.
How much further can they bend over backwards for a woman who originally claimed she couldn't WAIT to tell her "story"?
You see what I'm saying? This is looking worse and worse for HER. And that is a bad thing for women who have actually been sexually attacked and/or raped.
If she has suddenly changed her mind (as it appears) and doesn't want to do it in public...she has been given every option to do it out of the public eye.
It's all political delay shenanigans at this point.
But it's not going to make any difference. Even if Kavanaugh was somehow stopped in his nomination...Trump will just nominate another guy.
Hell, maybe he ought to throw Kavanaugh under the bus so the Democrats and media can crow about a "victory" and possibly get the next nominee voted in on whether or not he is qualified as a legal expert on the Constitution to sit on the Supreme Court. (which is what it's SUPPOSED to be about)
EDIT: Also the FBI is NOT "tasked" with doing investigations on Supreme Court Nominees. Hell, the FBI didn't even EXIST until a few decades ago.
And what they do now...for ALL govt. officials and employees are Background Checks to make sure they aren't crazed monsters.
