From the BBC<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyer says her client will not appear on Monday, as senators proposed, but might do so next week on “terms that are fair”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ford has been asked to testify on Monday and given the choice of a public or private hearing, either in Washington, DC or California where she lives. She will not have to be in the same room as Kavanaugh. Is this unfair? Hardly.<\/p>\n

Yesterday her lawyer – who doubles as a Democrat political activist – said she would not attend the hearing. Now she’s saying she can, but later. At this point, they might as well come out and say she’ll testify only at a time when it will be too late to confirm Kavanaugh before the mid-terms, after which they’ll be no need anyway.<\/p>\n

And this raises a good point:<\/p>\n

I’m not the world’s most experienced atty, but can’t recall the defense ever going FIRST…<\/p>\n
