AUTHOR'S NOTE: Due to the fact that this blog post contains a description of an act of sexual assault, reader discretion is strongly advised.
Earlier today, Christine Blasey Ford, now a college professor at Palo Alto University in California, came forward with her account of how U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her:
Although, as of this writing, no Republican member of the U.S. Senate has announced any intention to vote against Kavanuagh's confirmation, U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), has called for the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Flake is a member of, to not vote on whether to recommend Kavanaugh's confirmation to the full Senate until the committee can hear from Blasey Ford.
If one or both of your state's U.S. Senators have not publicly announced an intention to vote against Kavanuagh's confirmation, call their Senate offices and tell them to vote against Kavanaugh's confirmation. People who commit acts of sexual misconduct against women should not be given a lifetime seat on our nation's highest court of law.

(Christine Blasey) Ford told the (Washington) Post that Kavanaugh "groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it."Groping someone is sexual assault, period. I completely believe Christine Blasey Ford and her account of how Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.
She also said Kavanaugh put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream for help.
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” Ford said. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”
