Let’s be clear. The .@FBI is already conducting #BrettKavanuagh background check. Same for all Supreme Court nominees. #ChristineBlaseyFord is simply asking that they include her claim in their normal course of work, so that the facts that Kavanaugh is judged by are confirmed. 1/

27 years ago the White House ordered the FBI to investigate #AnitaHill’s claim against @JusticeThomas67. This is #BASIC. The investigation was complete within 3 days. 2/

GOP is saying #ChristineBlaseyFord “is in no position” to dictate parameters of her testimony. #NO! 37 yrs ago Blasey Ford was #innoposition to control her attackers. Today she is standing in her power. She is demanding basic respect. #FACTSFIRSTTHENHEARING #dealwithit #SCOTUS 3/

We must not forget, #ChristineBlaseyFord was 14 or 15 years old when 16 or 17 year old #BrettKavanuagh is alleged to have pinned her down, put his hand over her mouth, and attempted to rape her. 14 or 15 years old ... 4/

Every Senator that attempts to mow past #ChristineBlaseyFord’s case in the next week is willfully diminishing the image of God in that 14 or 15 year old girl. This includes you, .@SenatorCollins and @ChuckGrassley #SHEMATTERS #FACTSFIRSTTHENHEARING #SCOTUSpick #CalltoPause 5/5
