republican senators say it is disqualifying if it is true. particularly given he is asserting it is not. he will testify under oath it is not. especially against the back drop. democrats accused him of being untruthful on testimony on three other matters in this hearing or two other hearings. by definition, if enough republican senators believe this, it will be disqualifying. this is polarizing. you have a substantive question and process. is there corroboration? there are any other allegations? those are two big areas. the process question is what investigation is going to happen between now and then? there was a feeling with anita hill in 1992 they were questioning without sufficient preliminary investigation. there will be controversiy over the next week why they are not asking the fbi to go into this and reopen the background check
