I thought they wanted to follow precedent


Precedent with Clarence Thomas was for the FBI to conduct a background investigation into this stuff. It seems the GOP is going full steam ahead without an FBI background investigation.

As Jim Sciutto of CNN put it: The offer to #ChristinaBlaseyFord is blunt: testify in public six days from now while under death threats or your allegation will be ignored in the confirmation of a SCOTUS nominee. That is quite a choice.
