Wonder if the SFRC will go into closed session now
From the April 19th trasnscript: http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/BusinessMeeting963-457.htm

Senator Allen: The vote we cast is on whether or not to go into closed session or not, and there are allegations that may have arisen since Mr. Ford's testimony, which was generally hearsay testimony as to what actually happened in a room that he was not in, to another individual. I think it is best to have open government -- in fact, if you want to use trial or legal proceedings, you have open hearings -- unless, unless -- and let me finish -- unless there are allegations say, of rape or sexual abuse or some domestic relations matters, or those instances that deal with a juvenile, in which case, those cases are in camera and not open to the public. And so, I think the American people, just like all of us, we're going to hear Senator Biden read a letter from a person, we're going to hear these allegations, all of us will make our judgments on it, let the American people see the veracity of the allegations as well.

From the RawStory article on 5/11/05: http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/larry_flynt_bolton_511

Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.


Rethugs can't deal with sex. I wonder if this will roil the hearings.
