A second assault was scheduled for this coming Monday

- 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.
- Meanwhile, she is being re-traumatized through death threats and harassment. And it appears she has been offered no protection to date from the threats, privacy invasion, and potential assault that would clearly come to her and her family after she went public.

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

gave her an opportunity to appear.



More sadly, may give collins/murkowski/etc opportunity to say 'We have nothing useful on the record. Status quo.'

But here is what’s going to happen next. they’re going to vote to approve him in committee and then there will be a floor vote and he will be confirmed. They don’t care about process, or ethics, they care about winning at all costs and by any means necessary. That is why they are so dangerous to our democracy and win battles they shouldn’t.
