It would happen and expose their hypocrisy. That is why I'm surprised that Trump didn't go that way. He is the ultimate troll, for better or for worse.

Maybe you guys are too young to remember the Clarence Thomas hearings. But it would be a lot like that, except nastier. To them your ideology cancels out who and what you are regardless of your qualifications and life experiences.

I read an article written right after those hearings. It’s almost the same play book

For those watching the hearing today, what are your thoughts so far? I’m unable to watch, but most reports indicate that Dr. Ford seems very credible.

This is a tremendous mistake by the Republicans. Dry process questions delivered by a poor speaking attorney, followed by Democrat grandstanding. They should not have yielded their questioning. This thing is over. The Murkowski’s, Collins’, and Flake’s will not vote to confirm.

We do not know what investigators for Republicians might have uncovered. Right now she is getting clarifing statements / details on record so that Mrs. Ford cannot backtrack.

That was interesting. If I understood her correctly, what happened 35 years ago is the reason she is seeking therapy today. It also lead to her insisting on two front doors on her home against her husband's will, so she would have a backup escape route. She said now they are letting Google interns use the second front, they are housing them. I'm not sure where her "not wanting to fly" came from. She testified that she's recently vacationed in Hawaii and various other islands in the south Pacific as well as Costa Rica and I believe some other Caribbean destinations. Kavanaugh turns. If it had been up to me I would have chosen Amy Coney Barrett.

Good night. Kavanaugh is going full speed ahead. His quote about how he’s not withdrawing despite the Democrats best efforts was AMAZING

Kavanaugh just made a great point that needs repeated. Scores of people, men and women, put their names on the line for Kavanaugh No one put their name on the line for Ford

Stark contrast between his statements and answers and Dr. Ford's

He does great until they bring up his drinking. He seems uncomfortable with those kinds of questions. I'm sure they have noticed that and will keep going down that road.

I did notice that early on. I was saying to myself “Just say ‘I drank beer’ and leave it at that’. Love that he is now turning it around on the Senators. What do you drink? Have you ever been passed out drunk? Have you ever played quarters?
The Dems are now talking about farts and stuttering the F word Wow

Also didn’t realize that the book Judge wrote was FICTION. And the Democrats are using that as a source material

I mean anybody who has drank, especially when young, has probably drank too much.

Also couldn't the committee decide themselves to open up the investigation with theFBI? I really am not sure how that works.

I dont know who is lying and who isnt but nothing is going to be proven either way.

Wait, the book is fiction?? I had no idea. Craziness.
