I am confused about the discussion surrounding the process for assessing the sexual assault allegation against Judge Kavanaugh. The issue is being framed as whether Dr. Blasley will accept the Senate Judiciary Committee's invitation to testify on Monday, as if they are throwing a birthday party. The Committee can compel witnesses to appear, subject to contempt sanctions. If the Committee is actually interested in getting to the bottom of this, then subpoenas should go out to Dr. Blasley, Judge Kavanaugh, and any other relevant witnesses.
But I am not convinced that the Senate wants to know. Senate Republicans certainly don't want to know. Senate Democrats, given the way Senator Feinstein handled the accusation, ditto.
