something he did not sign up for when agreeing to these hearings.
Maybe, but it is something he should have expected. In my opinion this is probably the most important job in the USA, even more important than President because it is a lifetime appointment. The background check for this job should take multiple months by the FBI and they should comb through every minute of your past and relationships. The ordeal he is going through is just as bad as the ordeal his accusers are going through. These are not just some random women, these are elitist upper class women who are from the same socioeconomic circles he is from, it was not an easy decision for them to come forward. Look at the resume of his latest accuser Julie Swetnick
My prior employment includes working with (a) Vietnam War Commemoration (VWC), Joint Services Providers (JSP), U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) in Arlington, Virginia; (b) U.S. Mint, U.S. Department of Treasury; (c) U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Department of Treasury; (d) Government Affairs and Communications Department, D.C. Department of General Services (DGS), Government of the District of Columbia (DC.Gov); (e) Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Department of Homeland Security; and (d) the U.S. Department of State (DOS). I was also one of the first 100 women in the world to achieve a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineering Certification (MCSE).
It is not an easy decision for someone like her to make accusations like this because she knows her life will have drastic changes. There is no reason for someone in her position to make up lies like this, she is simply pissed off and wants justice.
This is the most dangerous presumption that has be gleaned from this whole process. Because we have collectively come to a conclusion that Ford is "credible" and a "victim," it automatically seen as proven guilt on Kavanaugh. This is a false premise.
Ford could be lying. Ford could be misinterpreting her experiences. Ford could have an ulterior motive. If we believe her "credibility" is a valid piece of evidence, we no longer have a justice system. We have a popularity contest.
This is a most dangerous presumption you are making, just because someone is considered credible that does not prove the counter party is guilty. The only way to determine guilt/innocence is with a thorough investigation. Once all data and all witnesses testimony is gathered people can make an informed decision.
In this situation I agree with Stephen King
