With Ford, they'd have taken their chances. Now a 2nd accuser, and the specter of more bad news of there is any truth to these Avenatti allegations.

Conservatives really want this seat in the court filled quickly. This week is the last chance to get anyone confirmed before November, and I'm 90% sure they'd pick Amy Barrett (I posed that question here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211167836). I imagine the White House is doing the calculus on this.
