  1. The Dems could've had their FBI investigation all said and done by now if they didn't wait until the last possible second. Of course the counter point about Dr. Ford's privacy is nonsensical for the following reason:

     

    The argument hinges on the implicit premise that we can have rapists on the Supreme Court as long as their accusers want to remain private. So if the letter is never leaked is Fienestein supposed sit there and allow who she genuinely believes is possibly rapist on the Supreme Court? A confidential investigation with confidential hearing would've been the most reasonable action for Fienestein to take. This would not have produced the results she wanted so that option had no chance. A public investigation with Dr. Ford remaining anonymous--an option I've seen seriously suggested--would be the most nonsensical option: we are not a totalitarian regime that allows for anonymous denunciations. When you accuse someone of a crime, especially a felony, you have no right to privacy. 

     

    So the Dems don't come out looking good on this.
