There is no heighten memory associated with the non stressful event of that day.

Are you seriously attempting to suggest the walk, run, ride, crawl however she got there immediately following what she categorized as an attempted rape which, in her words, devastated her life, wouldn't have had any stress associated with it? That she would have walked out the door and then merrily hop-skitched her way home?

As I stated in another place, I was badly beaten up by a couple of kids when I was young. I can’t remember the day or even the month...I can only guess I was 8 or 9 years old. But I remember vividly who those two kids were and the injuries I sustained. I can almost still feel the pain of their punches and kicks...

Are you suggesting that it's not possible that she shouldn't be able to remember? If so, I think you'd need to present evidence that this is true.

Oh, I am sure you can. But in what manner does this prove anything Ford said?

She is a PHD holder who doesn't even know what the term exculpatory means, so I suppose anything is possible.

It lends support to the contention that, while the painful parts of an experience will remain clearly in the memory, the less relevant details may fade with time...

Do you really find it so unbelievable that Dr Ford can still see the faces of her attackers and their actions, but not remember the date or the exact address of the location...?

Per testimony, Feinstein did not have permission to release the letter to the committee. She had to keep it confidential.
She could have gone to Ford and gotten permission to do so. It was only an incremental step up, and a very logical one, from Ford sending the letter to Feinstein. Everything, including the investigation, could have been done decently, quietly and without all the pressure. Very different from the way it is now.

Dr. Ford testified that it came up in a phone call. She expected the letter to be kept confidential and that it would be part of an investigation.

Now, now...cut her some slack.

Things haven’t gone well for her side of the argument today...

The way the lawyer is treating her with kid gloves, I don't think anyone will notice.

she categorized as an attempted rape
Nonsense, when she resisted his advances he let her go. Period the end. She is a very sensitive person and she was upset by what happened to her. This sort of alleged assault is a day in the life of a ghetto girl. But the rich country club princess are not use to being manhandled like that. I can understand that she was upset and that things did not go the way she would have wanted them to go.

The reason they did not report this to the police. The reason they are not doing an FBI investigation is because no crime was committed. At least not that she can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nope...not even close. She was able to escape his grasp when he and his mate tumbled drunkenly onto the floor. You really should read her account before judging..


I don’t even know how to respond to that part...

Does not matter. The point is even if he did what she accused him of doing. That still may not keep him from being appointed. Could be that what she claims he did to her is not enough to stop them from appointing him to the court.

The reason is the obstructionists are ruining it for themselves. That did a really bad job the way they have handled this and no one is going to want to side with them.

Just getting on an airplane is difficult for her. She gets stressed out easy. She would not have done what she did if she did not really believe in what she was doing.
