In a bid which further delayed a vote on Judge Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford's associates claimed earlier this week that Ford's too afraid to fly to Washington DC from California and instead needs to drive.
As ABC News reported on Friday:
[L]awyers for Ford are asking the Senate Judiciary Committee to schedule a hearing for her to be heard on Thursday, allowing time for Ford to make the drive from California to Washington D.C. Ford's friend, Kate Devarney, told CNN this week that Ford's fear of flying is directly related to her allegation of assault, and that an airplane is "the ultimate closed space where you cannot get away."On Saturday, The Washington Post said Ford's husband told them she was so distraught over the prospect Trump could nominate Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court after his election victory in 2016 that, "She went online to research other democracies where her family might settle, including New Zealand."
From The Washington Post:
When Donald Trump won his upset presidential victory in 2016, Christine Blasey Ford’s thoughts quickly turned to a name most Americans had never heard of but one that had unsettled her for years: Brett M. Kavanaugh.Read more Here
Kavanaugh — a judge on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — was among those mentioned as a possible replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016. When Trump nominated Neil M. Gorsuch, Ford was relieved but still uneasy.
Then Justice Anthony M. Kennedy announced his retirement and Ford, 51, began fretting again.
“Her mind-set was, ‘I’ve got this terrible secret. . . .What am I going to do with this secret?’ ” her husband, Russell Ford, 56, recalled.
To many, Kavanaugh was a respected jurist. To her, he was the teenager who had attacked her when they were in high school.
Ford had already moved 3,000 miles away from the affluent Maryland suburbs where she says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a house party — a charge he would emphatically deny. Suddenly, living in California didn’t seem far enough. Maybe another hemisphere would be. She went online to research other democracies where her family might settle, including New Zealand.
“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,’ ” her husband said. “She wanted out.”
Who said she had “class”?
Oh yeah she lies, who’da thunk it?
Former?
Now a drama queen (always has been, that hasbeen?)
I read that she is researching how ru486 can also be used to treat depression and her work is funded by the manufacturer of that drug. If true Dr Ford has financial interest in keeping Judge Kavanaugh out of the Supreme Court.
An interesting point that the spinless should pursue in a hearing, but won’t.
Of course, we’re all going to be watching - at least those of us who are retired and or those who don’t have to go to jobs...I expect all questions asked of her from the committee members will be very carefully, delicately put questions and the Republicans will be even more careful how and what they will ask her. It will no doubt make us all sick to our stomach with their condescending attitude so as not to offend her or anyone else. That’s ridiculous but I’m sure that’s what we have to look forward to.
Will Kavanaugh be in the room, do you suppose? At the table?
Does she know something about flying we should know about?
I knew the mother of a 14 yr old girl years ago who gave her daughter birth control pills to treat acne.
Back on subject, I noticed something when ru486 first hit the Rx market.
Are You For 86
Pretty subtle (?)- 86 being a term for get out of where you are.
It is of course is an abortion pill.
I’m sure other local High Schools are having a real uptick in application s. I bet the school closes in less than 5 years.

This has bugged me...
If this happened to a woman why would she not tell her husband ???
Victims don't had "terrible secrets" only guilty people have 'secrets'
Victims might keep quiet through fear or shame but they are not covering up a 'secret'
Her so called 'mindset' is not one of a real victim...
I was really molested and raped ...I don't have a 'secret' terrible or otherwise...
May we hear from other women ???
Thanks...
BTW I want so badly to slap her and all the phony #MeToo liars...
All they do is mess it up for real victims..
“Does she know something about flying we should know about?”
Maybe she was traumatized by the tiny bathrooms? Seriously this woman is too fragile to be walking around without sedation.
She drove to Hawaii ; )
More proof that she is a liar and is doing all she and Feinstein can do to undermine and delay a Senate Judicial Nomination Confirmation.
Maybe it’s not the flying, it’s the TSA groping... Now, if she uses this excuse, we’ll know she’s trolling FreeRepublic.
What state or country is the Holton Arms in?
That is interesting
FRiend, I noticed the same thing, and I never thought it subtle. It was brazen. And, a minor correction: 86'ing something always meant to kill it. "Let's 86 that idea", for example.
Are You For 86'ing Your Kid, is how I read that drug name.
Maryland...
She was going to take the slow boat.
“a minor correction: 86’ing something always meant to kill it. “Let's 86 that idea”, for example.”
Well to some, no prob but...
...back around the middle of the last century I was 86’d from more than one bar, and a restaurant or two.
Not to mention English class in high school...
Back then it meant thrown out.
It's still the common vernacular for tossing someone out of an establishment.
But NOT Starbucks, their stores are open to loitering and taking a bath in the rest room if need be...
And when I was a bartender, I 86’d several people from the honky-tonk bar I worked in at Bell Glen Resort. A high end restaurant with a bar in the basement.
One of the 86’d patrons I was instructed to write down with the name “Mike the Rapist”
It turned out to be a false charge but the owner hired me. Before he only wanted women bartenders cause they have more ways to get customers to spend money than a guy does.
Oops I'm rambling, TMI LOL
