She, on the other hand, came across as entirely honest and straightforward.

There really aren't any obvious explanations of her lying. Which leaves the motive she identified for her appearance as likely valid. She was driven by a sense of civic duty.

All that is left for Lindsey Graham and his ilk: the desperate doppelganger theories, to which she said she was 100% certain it was Kavanaugh; and the hopeless Democratic conspiracy theory, which is irrelevant to Ford's explanation that she is telling the truth - a charge K failed to answer.

The reason Graham is angry is that the GOP's desperate attempt to sweep things under the rug failed. They are exposed for the people they are: careless of sexual assault and the lies folks tell about it. One or the other of these two is scared of the truth. It surely isn't Ford.

I don't think he remembers the incident, but fears it happened.

The difference between the witnesses in terms of candor and truthfulness was striking. He was endlessly evasive and kept repeating the same defensive lines over and over.

He also revealed the political partisanship he tried to conceal in the original hearings. His answers were designed to impress the Trump rump, and not to answer the questions put to him or to be consistent.

In my view, he's twenty years of life experience away from being ready for the Supreme Court. He needs to inhabit the world that many others do if he is to make wise judgements about folks' lives.
