If Feinstein believed her, there were avenues to pursue that wouldn't have


been as messy. Dropping it after committee hearings, right before the vote, ensured a firestorm.

I don't fault those who opposed Kavanaugh's confirmation on his judicial record, or temperament. I don't fault those who find her story credible enough to oppose him out of caution. But I do question how anyone could be certain of her claim, given the facts before us. And I'm concerned about the precedent of completely unsubstantiated accusations being enough to destroy someone.

I understand those who want to oppose Kavanaugh in retaliation for Garland, but that's just contributing to the partisan degradation.
