So now the republicans say "it's not fair that she doesn't testify Monday ". FAIR? When on Gods

green earth have republicans EVER treated people fair? Especially women. They have made careers out of mistreatment of women, minorities, LGBT and anyone whom they think they can trample.

They want her to testify without the benefit of having the FBI conduct a ROUTINE background of this issue. They want no witnesses that support Dr. Ford; yet they think it’s just fine that a republican controlled hearing with supporters of Kavanaugh ready to attack, is what is in store for her.

this is a kangaroo court style hearing. All the rules are being set so that Dr. Ford has no reasonable chance to bring her complaint, successfully, to an open minded, fact seeking, investigatory hearing.
No Republican would allow themselves to be subjected to such an unprecedented, unreasonable, irrational act of political violence which is in store for Dr. Ford.

Everyone knows what is right fair and proper in this situation. The republicans refusal to abide by proper rules, precedent, and credibility suggest they know that Kavanaugh is likely to have done what Dr. Ford has accused him of.

There will be consequences for this behavior. Americans are watching, women are watching...the world is watching. What kind of human beings are you going to show the world you are republicans?
