So I suppose the Democrats won. Dr. Ford’s lawyer has already come out with a statement that one week isn’t long enough and no “artificial “ time limit should be imposed by Congress. The goal of the Dems has always been to at least delay the vote until after the November elections. If that happens, they won. Character assassination as a political tactic will have been validated.
1) The world is not a just place.
2) Furthermore there is no such thing as an "objective" system of justice. No one can make an objective system of justice for it would be way too complicated and it would not be implementable in the real world.
3) If we are going to have justice in this world (at least an attempt at justice) it has to be implemented by humans and thus it will always be subjective form of justice.
4) Effectively let me borrow from House M.D. since you like that show so much Mookie 
[Jogging park. House and Eve are at the same picnic table as before. Eve sits on the table, House stands. Eve looks a bit less miserable.]
HOUSE: Life goes on.
EVE: Is that the reason we're out here?
HOUSE: Know why I come here? I sit, I watch, I imagine.
[He limps over to the table and sits on the bench.]
EVE: Sounds nice.
HOUSE: [pointing to joggers] Imagine if one of them would break a leg.
[She smiles (for the first time) at his cynicism.]
HOUSE: Just one false step. One crack in the sidewalk.
EVE: [smiling] You don't really.
HOUSE: I'm evil.
EVE: Evil people don't say they're evil.
HOUSE: Sounds like an easy loophole. [beat] People can do good things, but their instincts are not good. Either God doesn't exist or he's unimaginably cruel.
EVE: [has lost the smile, shakes her head] I don't believe that.
HOUSE: What do you believe? Why do you think this happened?
EVE: [gets of the table and walks a bit] I don't wanna talk about it.
HOUSE: Me neither. Too bad.
EVE: [irritably] Y'know, I don't think there was a reason! [sighs]
HOUSE: Huh-huh. So God does exist, 'less you get raped. Easier to keep your rape baby for no reason.
EVE: [crying] Maybe he was challenging me!
HOUSE: He hurts you to help you.
[Eve nods.]
HOUSE: I guess it's better than he hates you.
EVE: [shouting, voice breaking] You're trying to convince me there's no God! Why would you even say something like that?
HOUSE: Because you're throwing your life away.
EVE: I'm doing what I believe!
HOUSE: What you believe doesn't make sense.
EVE: This is not helping me.
[She picks up her stuff to leave.]
HOUSE: Then I can't help you.
[Eve stops.]
HOUSE: If you believe in eternity, then... life is irrelevant. Same way that a bug is irrelevant in comparison to the universe.
EVE: [turns to face him] If you don't believe in eternity, then what you do here is irrelevant.
HOUSE: [jabbing the table with his finger] Your actions here are all that matters.
EVE: Then nothing matters. There's no ultimate consequences. I couldn't live with that.
HOUSE: So you need to think that the guy that did this to you is gonna be punished.
EVE: I need to know that it all means something. I need that comfort.
HOUSE: Yeah. You feeling comfortable? Feeling good right now? Feeling warm inside?
[She sits down in front of him, on the bench.]
EVE: I was raped. What's your excuse?
[He has no answer.]
------
People need therapy for people love to project what happened and what did not happened for we think it will make the world prettier, or more comfortable, or more just, and so on.
Instead of dealing with the truth we are dealing with our walking bag of emotions that is also encased in our balloon bodies of flesh, water, and blood.
------
Was this about the truth? Was this just a tactic? Does asking that question matter or is it leading question that is caused by motivated reasoning?
A) If it was about the truth we will learn more about the truth by an FBI investigation.
B) If it was a tactic then the tactic is going to be used in the future no matter the success or failure of what happened here. That is because politics is high stakes and people come up with tactics not just based off the past success but also because people can think and be creative and we can be good and we can be wicked. Good people are in politics and wicked people are in politics and guess what wicked people are not always defined by the success or failure of what happened in the past.

Your quest for a "valid" world is a Quixotic quest Mookie. I understand it but it will not make you happy.
How are you Mookie recently? Often when I do things that are quixotic I am not taking care of myself, or I am not getting what I need from the external environment. How is life friend?
