The mob can attack, and the senate caves. or well stand up and say that serious, thoughtful, fact-based deliberation will still define this body. well either give notice that totally uncorroborated allegations are now officially -- officially enough to destroy an americans life, or well declare that our society cannot, must not, will not set the bar so low. so, madam president, today is a pivotal day in the nomination process of this excellent judge, but it is a pivotal day for us here in the se...
