Congratulations. I wish I could say the same. My assault was in 1986, and even with a witness (long enough story), I think I’m out of luck. I tried in 1994, no dice even that quick. I’m very happy you got justice.

In fact, I think the worse it gets for Republican voters, they will double down in equal parts fury & panic, because their brains will break from being forced to admit they were wrong by people they hold to be illegitimate. They will also do so just out of sheer defiance.
