Sex assault survivor who confronted Jeff Flake speaks out

Two institutions, really. One, the Supreme Court is the lone institution where most Americans still have some faith.

Friday’s developments unfolded a day after Kavanaugh and an accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testified in an emotional, hours-long hearing that was televised nationwide.

Ford’s account lacks a specific date and location.

Kavanaugh needs at least 50 votes to be confirmed by the 100 member Senate. “An FBI investigation might provide more evidence – either favorable or unfavorable to Kavanaugh”.

But the greatest disservice to Dr. Ford – and Judge Kavanaugh – has been done by the Senate Democrats who sat on her allegation for weeks and then leaked it to the national media at the last minute.

“I always carried the fear that my parents would feel that they had failed in taking care of me if I told them”, Archila said in a phone interview with The Washington Post.

“Today I texted my father and I said, ‘You’re going to hear something that we haven’t talked about, and I want you to know that I’m OK, ‘” she said.

“They have to do what they think is right”, Trump said.

The protests are not just in Washington, D.C., but also planned for the local Senate offices around the country-such as Sen. She is running in her sixth Senate race this year and is expected to win.

“I can not imagine that for the next 50 years they will have to have someone in the Supreme Court who has been accused of violating a young girl”.

“There’s been a great deal of public discussion about the #MeToo movement today versus the Year of the Woman nearly 27 years ago”, she said at Thursday’s hearing.

Flake said he left the Thursday hearing with “as much doubt as certainty” after hearing from both Ford and Kavanaugh. Supervisor Harvey Milk, the state’s first openly gay elected official, also was killed. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee.

“Clearly she’s been through something terrible”, Sen. Democrats tried to make points of order as the roll was called over their protests.

After seeing Ford’s powerful testimony, White House aides and allies expressed concern that Kavanaugh, whose nomination already seemed to be teetering, would have difficulty to deliver a strong enough showing to match hers. She told her Democratic colleagues about the letter only this month.

Gallagher has not given further details of an assault she said she never expected to reveal to a USA senator.

The committee chairman, Sen.

Hours later, the White House released a statement from Trump honoring the Senate’s request: “I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file”.

She said she never told anyone about the attack before – not even her own mom who had called her after seeing the clip on TV, according to the news site.

Republicans voted to advance the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh on September 28, concluding a committee process thrown into disarray two weeks ago by the last-minute release of allegations by a female accuser. She told the committee that she wished she could provide more detailed answers to questions, but said said she does not remember as much as she would “like to”.
