I have no idea why, but I can tell you what I think I would feel if Kavanaugh had tried to rape a girl me under the circumstances involved 36 years ago and I never reported it. I would blame myself for the cowardliness that would imply about myself to such a degree that I would not seek criminal conviction at such a late date, but I WOULD feel duty bound not to let such a person who would do that pass muster to serve on the court without that truth being told. I would owe that to truth and the country and let that be revenge enough. Your job now is to explain why the Republicans will not allow the FBI to gather all relevant data as is standard practice in all past related cases. I think it is obvious that want their man regardless of his character.
