We didn't learn much from the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing Thursday. The evidence about whether Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Professor Christine Blasey Ford when they were teenagers in the early 1980s remains what it was beforehand. The hearings only reinforced some things we already knew.
First: Ford's accusation is the most serious of the ones against the judge. The Democrats mostly stayed away from The New Yorker magazine's rumor-mongering concerning Deborah Ramirez - who professed no certainty about the events of the 1980s until very recently - and from Julie Swetnick's lurid yet vague claims of a high-school gang-rape ring.
