None of the options listed are consistent with what I think on this matter.
Politics has a unique set of facets that is outside of the box of profit businesses but is also in. Business has 2 options: to make money sufficient for its owners to be able to prosper life, or to fail to achieve earnings that sustain its owner's life and ability to remain in a viable business. Politics takes into consideration not one individual or group. It takes into consideration what is best for the most people living within its borders. In the United States, that is approximately 619,000,000 acres of lands plus the waterways/seas/oceans that are within its jurisdictional powers.
I think it was shown on the evening of the hearing that only actual physical proof was acceptable. There was no corroborative evidence that supported claims made in the hearings, which were of a salacious nature, embittered by years of doing nothing to rectify any wrongs done to the person who claimed to be a victim. Not one single person of the several she mentioned remembers any such gathering related in unsupported claims. No truth was proven or disproven. Unconstitutional methods to obtain this salacious claim were employed against the accused by disallowing him to face his accuser. To someone whose ancestors both came over on the Mayflower as well as who lived on this continent, I feel that all men and women are created as political equals by the time they are conceived until the time of their death, and I do not support questioning a person who is suffering mental illness on account of never having received sufficient mental health care to live free of anxieties and worries as the person who gave a speech on her trouble that seemed reasonably true if you didn't know she was suffering from the kind of mental illness in which substitutions and omissions of extraneous events or identities are toxic to the truth, although it may not be evident to the average listener with no skills in interpreting body language known only to those who have communication or medical knowledge that some repeated things raise a red flag that a yarn may well be being spun. It's the easiest method to con someone else because most people, even those who are equipped to identify aren't specifically trying to catch spun extraneously acquired information which perverts truth to actually being a lie even the teller isn't aware of if she has suffered PTSD. I caught the same signal several times, and in my mind, this dear suffering woman may not have been aware she was venturing out into the fields of unstable truth as someone observing it. She indeed, thought she was telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Another giveaway was a change in her demeanor under the pressure applied by her supporters when they flattered her in front of God and everybody for traits deserving only to someone who'd died for his or her country on a battlefield full of lethally-armed combatants. That said, there was a definite change in the speech-giver's confidence level that fired up one of the most hate-driven condemnations I have ever seen. Added to the other signals which I am not allowing myself to say, all I can say is the speech in its entirety contained more pent-up anger than the described encounter warranted, like a house of cards falling in upon itself roughly after the gentlest touch initiated the fall. While I cannot tell more than that there was anger, I can't tell whether it stemmed from blind hatred that polarization of politics can cause in a person, whether over 30 years prior than her decision to blame someone she hated with a poison becoming a Supreme Court Justice, whether her handlers intended to build her up for the kill on Kavanaugh because they had the same political feeling as the speaker, or whether she actually had been raped by someone else, conveniently substituting the name and face of the public figure who annoyed her; whether her bitter anger was transferred to a different kind of antagonist, whether she knew she was not truthful, or whether she did not know. The facts are that not one of the people she claimed were there remembered being with that particular group.
That makes the charge vapid in the real world of determining truth of allegations. The time to deal with a serious matter such as rape is to (1) go to a hospital where body fluids may be detected and identified. (2) review with an officer of the law (police) the facts of the case so they may determine who is responsible for the crime and go get an immediate bal from that person with or without his cooperation in the case or rape or intended rape, to determine state of mind, not to mention corroborating dna. (3) get immediate mental and social support from professionals in dealing with domestic or forcible rape attempts against a victim. Support groups are out there to help victims fight back against depression, anger, and PTSD. Keeping quiet for 30 or 36 years took its toll on this victim. Her handlers did not see to her needs to go back through the steps that would help her leave her troubles with anxiety behind, and begin living in the present.
I have only one suggestion about the hearing: all those who flattered the speaker, even interrupting her to flatter her, should go stand in the corner. Flattery does NOT overcome false memories, it does NOT bring about the truth that simple police work, done 36 years ago at the time of the event, which would have prevented failure of memory and socialization without anxiety that this victim has suffered for over 30 years. By the same token, quite often giving a perfect performance with pathos distributed in the most damaging way to a false memory is no way to determine either the truth much less, convicting a political adversary who just happens to have an opinion on one or more issues that are crazymakers (unpleasant thoughts) to a person of anxiety-based thinking, repeated over and over daily for 36 years.
