Actually, the only award Christine Blasey Ford is qualified to present is the best of the year literary award in the category of "The Most Mysterious, Salacious Work of Crime Fiction."

Sports Illustrated Chooses Christine Blasey Ford To Present Award To Sexual Assault Survivor

http://www.dailywire.com/news/39288/sports-illustrated-chooses-christine-blasey-ford-hank-berrien

On Tuesday evening, Sports Illustrated announced the person they were acknowledging as their "Inspiration of the Year." They made a singularly appropriate choice, naming Rachel Denhollander, the lawyer and gymnast who was the first woman to come forward with charges of sexual assault against former Michigan State and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nasser.

But Sports Illustrated also chose someone whom some people might find inappropriate to present the award: Christine Blasey Ford, who made uncorroborated, unverifiable, and unsubstantiated accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh that he had sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers. As Rachel Mitchell, Nominations Investigative Counsel United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, wrote in a comprehensive analysis of Blasey Ford's testimony:

In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A "he said, she said" case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that. Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event, and those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them. For the reasons discussed below, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee. Nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard ... Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened ... Dr. Ford has struggled to identify Judge Kavanaugh as the assailant by name ... Dr. Ford has no memory of key details of the night in question - details that could help corroborate her account ... Dr. Ford's account of the alleged assault has not been corroborated by anyone she identified as having attended - including her lifelong friend. ...
