- The republicans set their hearing for Monday without consultation with Ford or her lawyer.
- They did not engage in any discussion with Ford or her lawyer about how the hearing would occur, who would be there, who would question her, etc.

She was just summoned to the Senate on their terms, with no discussion or interim or post protection offered.
