1. Accuser makes an allegation and "demands to be heard."
2. Alleged attacked says: "OK -- I'm ready to testify in my defense at any time, and anywhere."
3. Accuser and her legal team and political handlers spend days demanding conditions for her testimony, and then making up excuses not to be there.

You are too masochistic for me. My mother has totally turned off this week. As for me, I am fit to be tied. It's a good thing that I live at the edge of The Swamp where I don't run into Democratic Senators. I am ready to beat one of them (pick one) into a pulp.
I have theorized for 3 days that Ford is too unstable to put in front of the cameras in live testimony--so let's end the freaking farce and get to the vote.
