Poll: Opposition to Kavanaugh rises
Opposition to Kavanaugh has increased...and this was before the Ford accusation broke.
The latest on Kavanaugh’s approval
Opposition to Kavanaugh grows, support at historic low: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Again, this is not a trial and there is no bar on hearsay. It's not any sort of legal proceeding (although witness to the Senate are under oath). The statement that "many of us heard about it at school," if true, does corroborate Ford's story. Corroborate simply means to add support to a claim.

Suppose you say you had Thanksgiving dinner with your relatives last year. But your wife adamantly maintains you skipped out on the dinner. I have no further information. But then your work friends tell me that you went on and on the following Monday about how insufferable it was to be with your relatives for Thanksgiving dinner. That story corroborates your claim that you had Thanksgiving dinner with your relatives last year. Does it definitively prove or establish it? No. But it certainly lends support--i.e., corroborates--your account.

I don't know that, how do you? Your post implies she is not telling the truth.
How do you know that?
I'll say this and hopefully you'll understand what I'm saying. If Dr. Ford and her attorney make the rounds on the Sunday shows and fail to show up on Monday, then I think the opinions will be swayed in the direction that she's FOS.
Do you all really think someone would delete their account and start another over what some posters said about them in a meaningless forum? That's funny.
Let's say hypothetically that the allegation is true. Do we want to live in a country where, despite living a clean, charitable life for 30+ years, one mistake as a 17 year old kid can ruin your entire career?
There's a reason why juveniles are able to have their criminal records sealed at 18.
If K doesn't get voted in, his career will be destroyed over a random allegation, and Republicans will have a motivation to get out and vote in November.
Shows his last activity was at 12:50 this am.Why shouldn't I believe CABVOL? The accusation seems credible and people have deleted accounts and returned with other names. OBV was a poster here but hasn't been seen in a while. It all adds up. The real question is why would you question CABVOL. #cabstoo
Clearly sarcasm is lost on you.
Yes, she's not doing any more media interviews because she's said everything that she recalls. Doesn't mean she wouldn't testify about what she recalls.
