>What the hell they gonna do now?
Exactly. They're caught because they can't just wave off the accusers as not to be taken seriously since that's the same bullshit they use to trash their opponents with. Hearings have to go on, so the repubs look like they're investigating properly and the dems are going to have take it in the ass and they know it.
My theory is that these accusers were believers who considered this type of action carte blanche against any SC appointee and had 'cases' prepared to drop when needed. Problem is Kav is clean and has his ducks in a row (calender, etc.) so he can blow any accuser out of the water.
Either a rogue dem in panic is releasing the reports, or the good guys are doing it to create a farce situation. Like Rex is saying, Ford is freaking out, probably because she didn't think it was going to be used this time around.
