Two (not one) who were supposedly there with Kavanaugh have no memory of the incident. That's equivalent to a "no." How could anyone remember anything about something that didn't happen? They might remember what they were doing on some particular date 36 years ago after much research, but the accuser conveniently fails to recall the date (or the place, or how she got there or back home afterwards or who else was at the party).

Or they were all drunk and none of them (including Ford) have any clue what actually happened, so the three people who don't think anyone was raped have forgotten all about whatever actually did.

I'm not saying that we should hold up the hearings. I've already said that if Ford doesn't show up to testify on Monday, the hearings should proceed. She should have the opportunity to be heard, and she has it. And if she's not heard on Monday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, then that says all it needs to about how serious her allegations actually are.
