I think Ford could try to pursue a law suit against Feinstein for denying her timely due process for her own political advantage. Feinstein sandbagged the notification of a victim of a crime that Feinstein claims to protect.  Because of her sandbagging, the victim must now tell her story in the bright lights of  the national media, heated partisan congressional committees and most adults in America knowing about her involuntary sexual activity.  And that is if it is true.  If she is not believed, she could face criminal charges. It seems that politicians are very quick to sacrifice the well being of their "subjects" for personal gain.
