After the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh concluded last week, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., revealed that for six weeks she'd hidden a claim he'd sexually assaulted someone.
Christine Blasey Ford then told the Washington Post that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers.
Kavanaugh isn't mentioned in the notes, but Ford's husband says she told him the name at that time and said she was worried he might be a Supreme Court nominee in the future.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has delayed the vote on whether to confirm Kavanaugh, reopened the hearings, and invited both Kavanaugh and Ford to speak to the matter.
Kavanaugh has agreed but Ford says she won't testify until and unless the FBI investigates her claim.
Presumably if the allegation is enough to keep Kavanaugh off the highest court, it should be enough to remove him from the second-highest court in the land as well.
Oddly, Flanagan says the 2012 notes from a therapist - which don't mention Kavanaugh but do mention four men assaulting Ford, contra Ford's current claims - sealed the deal for believing her claims.
