There can't be a human alive that truly believes this woman came to her senses the weekend before a conformation vote decades after the alleged "incident". If this were a year ago, odds are none of this would be happening because the sole purpose of this delay tactic is an attempt to get to the mid term elections before voting on Kavanaugh.

IMO, a hard example needs to be set for false accusations like this to make others think long and hard

Looks like we may get to see how many male Republican senators have it in them to attack her credibility to her face, then go home to face their wives, daughters and female constituents.

As for a stalling tactic, I've got two words for you: Merrick Garland. You reap what you sow.

You mean question the veracity of her claims? I will say, though, your red meat description would make Chuck Schumer proud. 

And if I were a female member of a Republican senator's family, I would be angry if they did not use this opportunity to determine if Ford is crying wolf. I can't think of anything that cheapens women's rights more than one who does so strictly for political purposes.
