Kavanaugh SCOTUS Senate Judicial Hearing

[IJTSSG]

"Would you agree that this hearing, in 5 minute increments, is not the right forum for this?"

Whoosh!
The point was that Ford had the opportunity to be interviewed one on one at her house in CA and refused.

Boy is Graham off the rails...
edit: I'd love to hear Trump's thoughts right now.

 

[jackstar7]

They need two. If only one bails Pence casts the 51st vote for Kavanaugh.

It's really fucked up how that's a foregone conclusion. I hope Pence is caught in Trump's web and Mueller cleans them both out.

to my surprise i thought Ford seemed believable ... will be interesting to see how Kavanaugh does this afternoon

 

[vi edit]

Graham: It's so close to the election how dare the democrats try and politicize this ram rodded and forced nomination !!!!!
Mitch McConnell in 2016: Well um uh....we can't dare now try and sit a democratic president's nomination this close to an election.

Go pound sand Lindsay.

She didn't refuse...her lawyers may not have even considered that option for her. That said, I don't think she should agree to an interview by staffers, only a professional, non-partisan investigator.

Anyone know any good jokes?

I don't recall a specific..., I don't remember, I will have to get back to you, I don't know...

If his "performance" on Fox is any indicator, he'll do badly.

The GOP position might have to be "Well. He didn't whip his dick out at the hearing so I'm voting yes".

It sucks that it might not happen. He needs to go simply from the fact that he was handpicked by Manafort.

Why surprise?

Let me guess, you consider yourself an objective person?

 

[ivwshane]

Yeah, Mitchell obviously believed her. I wish she was questioning kavanaugh now.

Seriously, kavanaugh isn't getting the same treatment? Are you fucking kidding me?! What a complete farce!

 

[K1052]

I wonder if the Rs are going to stick to Mitchell asking the questions for Kavanaugh. I kinda doubt it now.

 

[UNCjigga]

I don't watch Fox News, but is it true that other hosts (not just Wallace) said the nomination should be withdrawn before the vote?? They are saying this directly to Trump???

I thought I saw she was going to question both but the posts here make me wonder if I misunderstood.

 

[zinfamous]

wait, the dipshit octogenarian WASPS get to hide behind a female prosecutor when questioning the actual female victim, but are allowed to come out of hiding so that they can feather dust their anointed golden boy as they flail about casting him as the victim through the rest of the day?

I hope the public is actually paying attention.

They seem to be pumping themselves up for his chance on the stand saying he needs to "bring it".

 

[K1052]

That was the plan but the senators aren't required to yield their time. If they think this is going down the drain and the Ds are slashing at Kavanaugh I've got to suspect that some will want to hit back.

 

[soundforbjt]

I hope the public is actually paying attention.

You're asking a lot from the people that support Kavanaugh.

 

[repoman0]

I may be mistaken, thought I read that, and at any rate I can’t imagine they’d want someone who’s actually going to question him to get their own time to speak. Hopefully I’m wrong.

 

[echo4747]

Why surprise?

I was surprised because it was a known fact that she (Ford) really didn't want to be there. In the beginning, she visually appeared very nervous and thought the stress could very well break her down. I thought she recovered from the nervousness and answered the questions asked believably

I was just talking to provide cover for the others. Nobody likes to be first for something like this.

So you thought her showing anxiety would make her testimony less credible?

Thankfully most people don't.
