In the aftermath of these hearings, I believe that Christines testimony brought about more good than the harm misogynist Republicans caused by allowing Kavanaugh on Supreme Court, he will always have an asterisk next to his name. When he takes a scalpel to Roe v. Wade, we will know who he is, we know his character, and we know what motivates him, and that is important.

Christine Blasey Ford has not asked for anything of the sort. What she did was to come forward and testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee and agree to cooperate with any investigation by the FBI and that's what she sought to do here.

What I can speak to is when victims of sexual assault and violence go to their Congress people -- when they go to their senators and they ask for their information to be confidential, I think that that's a request that needs to be respected.

It is simply not possible for her to prepare such testimony while at the same time trying to take appropriate security precautions in the face of the avalanche of threats she has been receiving.

The short answer is this : We did a fundraiser for Sen. Baldwin six years ago when we ran for the Senate, we supported Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin then.

She spoke to the senator very soon after the letter was sent, which was July 30. At that point, Christine Blasey Ford retained counsel and then communication went between staff and Dr. Blasey's counsel.
