Just hours until one of the most anticipated Senate hearings in decades, someone has left a message for Christine Blasey Ford.

It’s unknown who left a note that says, “Good luck, Dr. Ford,” on the witness table where the California professor will testify about accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — who is also set to testify on Thursday.

A Roll Call photographer, checking out lighting and angles ahead of Thursday’s 10 a.m. hearing, noticed the notepad in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing room on Capitol Hill.

There have been three women who accused the federal judge of sexual misconduct in the 1980s when he was in high school and college
