I’ve also heard, that the Democrats object (what’s new) and won’t be attending. This information was sat on for some time, and I don’t see that it should disrupt the schedule at the last minute. It should be taken seriously, and any investigation deemed appropriate should continue. I don’t see it going very far. Democrats have been actively trying to disrupt this democratic process in some pretty shady ways already. With some of the crazy protestors childishly disrupting the hearing being shown receiving money just before the confirmation proceedings. But it doesn’t appear so far that Democrats have been taking the high road, and there is the possibility, that this is another part of that.There is already more evidence than just 40 year old hearsay.

I just see a disrepency in reasoning from other encounters, and wonder which one is true this time. It seems applicable to the conversation. Is testimony about an event from 40 years ago evidence or not? Do we launch a scientific investigation into the matter, before we can believe it? All applicable to this topic.
The accusation was made at least 6 years ago. It's not like it just now came out of nowhere.
You also mischaracterize "sitting on it". They held back because the woman did not want her life ruined by getting involved in such a big political mess. She was forced to come forward when a someone leaked the existence of the letter to the press.
Feinstein held the information because the accuser requested it.
The accuser, Ford, is risking everything. She's not some paid protester. She has a career and is a respected person. Just making the accusation could ruin her, because of how our society tends to view female accusers as either liars or whores. Or just dimsmissing that sort of behavior as "boys will be boys". As you have so aptly demonstrated.
Naturally we should look into it. What do you think of the existing evidence, that She talked about it years ago with her future husband and later a therapist, among others, and has passed an FBI-administered lie detector test?
