More evidence of Ford's dishonesty

For the entire history of modern law the accuser speaks first and the accused speaks second.

That's because having the accused speak first makes no sense unless you presume that the accused is guilty.  After all if the accused is not guilty what can they say before the accuser makes their accusations?

Now in the case of Kavanaugh people may think that he can respond to what Ford has already said. The problem is that what Ford has said to date is not under oath and we don't know what new things she might say when testifying under oath.

In any case there is no basis for letting the accuser make her claims without the accused being able to refute them; for Ford to demand otherwise is dishonest.

The demands for security are similarly absurd.  Republican Congressman Steve Scalise was nearly killed by a Bernie supporter yet Steve shows up in Congress every day.  There is absolutely no honest reason that Ford could think that she wouldn't be safe in the Capitol.

Then there's the claims that she's not ready to testify. She was ready to anonymously smear Kavanaugh months ago so how can she not be ready to testify now?

Finally when a woman is really raped she has to confront her rapist in court.  But apparently Ford thinks she's above that and that the ideas of innocent until proven guilty and due process only apply to leftists.
