Do you consider it silencing Christine Ford by having her testify?

Kirsten Gillibrand thinks so. What say you?

It's a Senate hearing. Not a jury trial.

Actually requiring her to take the stand and risk perjury will shut her up

There's no logic to that belief. Thursday will be her day to testify before the nation and the world.

To give another person the opportunity to speak out in a very visible manner is not silencing them. Gillibrand is wrong on this one.

She's been silent 38 yrs
