character and you re so right in your comment that the character will come out, someone cannot year after year at yale college, yale law school and various courtships and professional life in washington, d.c., be a neighbor and yet be this kind of person who now is being described as a predator. this is just absolutely appalling. laura: reprehensible. i wish the senate had stood strong. i understand due process, but the process, this is what i said, that the process broke down terribly when diane feinstein allowed then this process to remain what it is. i don t need to rehearse the facts for this to be enshrouded in history and dropped like neutron bomb. laura: you are still very judicious.
