Jeff Flakes struggled, but finally and timidly asked his Trumpian colleagues to allow an update by the FBI to Brett Kavannaugh's background check. This will mean a week's delay in the floor vote for Kavannaugh's bid for Supreme Court Justice.
What caused this shift -- maybe it was a 5 minute confrontation in an elevator with a victim of sexual assault (22 years old) who cried to him "that no one would listen to her; no one would believe her -- when she was attacked!" She did not let not let up; she would not let him look away from her truth.
Life is full of such moments -- it is the sad serendipity of our experiences. Thank god, karma, or life itself.
