LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing

[Frank Cannon]

They absolutely do. All they wanted was to get lies on record.

This isn't a court case. This is trying to expose this liar before the vote. She is skating through this thing like a walk in the park.

[Bigun]

This fat prosecutor with the clown haircut is a disaster. All she does is ask these go nowhere questions and never calls her out.

Disagree  @Frank Cannon.  I think she is doing a damned good job of  blowing this BS up.

[Sanguine]

My take.... she's either a complete moron, or she's acting.  Would be interesting to see if her friends and family think she was "acting" all timid and meek.... or is she always that way.  I'm betting it's just her role/act for today's performance.

I don't know, but I would really question her ability as a professor if she's that timid and meek.

Ford says she saw Mark Judge at a store. She says she said hello, then says he was very uncomfortable saying hi back. Previously she said Judge completely avoided her.

So... considering her allegations against Judge... why would she have said hello to him?  Why would she even speak to him?  I don't get it.

Christine Blasey Ford.... one second she’s forcing tears the next minute she’s laughing. Total schizophrenic.

[Jazzhead]

That's great and all, but the actual evidence points to Kavanaugh not even being there.

She said it was Kavanaugh with 100 percent certainty.   

[Bigun]

Now we have a proven liar questioning another liar.

We've seen the hand written note.  Looked like it was penned by a 3rd grader.  She didn't know what exculpatory means.  She's not bright enough to BE a teacher.  She seems kind of dumb to me.

Really? That's not what is coming out over the news wires. That's not what people are hearing listening to this thing. They hear some ditzy woman getting a pass on all sorts of inconsistencies.

If this was a multi day hearing, this would be a fine tactic. It is not. This needs to be exposed NOW.

After Blumenthal's beta male pandering, Ford is crying.

Memo to Chris Wallace who says the prosecutor "has not laid a glove on her": the GOP prosecutor is just trying to respectfully get FACTS, not "lay gloves" on anyone.

Inappropriate affect as I said before. She's a psych patient.

Why would anyone, anyone believe @SenBlumenthal who lied about being in active service in Vietnam.

God help us that a man of Blumenthal’s character passes judgment on Brett Kavanaugh.

Dr. Ford now saying it wasn't clear to her that Grassley was willing to send staff to California so she didn't have to fly. When asked to explain, her attorneys (Democrat operatives) cut in a cited privilege.

Grassley made it extremely clear what the offer was.

It appears her attorneys may have never told Dr. Ford about the offer from Grassley

Old Ford: I didn't see why I needed a lawyer.
New Ford: I was interviewing lawyers on the phone in a Walgreen's parking lot. <Giggled>

It's the meds and her mental illness on display. She's a mess. the childlike voice is very telling. I agree that not knowing the meaning of exculpatory is absurd.

She took the polygraph on the day of her grandmother's funeral. Ford was scared of the polygraph test. It was long and stressful.

Sen. Coons, testifying now, has stated that when a sexual assault is alleged the accused has the burden of PROVING his innocence.  Is that the standard you want to live under?

[mystery-ak]

she doesn't know who paid for the polygraph......sure

[Fishrrman]

All of this is but a show to push the Pubbie "fence sitters" (Collins, Murkowski, Flake) off to the left side.
Without them, it will fall to Manchin, Heitkamp, and that Senator from Indiana(?)...

I remember last week speculating that the chances of confirmation (via the route we're currently going) were only about 40-60 in Judge Kavanaugh's favor.

As of this moment, those chances seem to be no better.

Like the broken record (CD?) I will offer this once again:
- Postpone confirmation for now
- Engineer a "Senate recess" (surely McConnell can arrange this)
- Mr. Trump can then recess-appoint Judge Kavanaugh to the Court
- After the new Senate convenes in January, vote (without Flake and that guy from TN).

Hell no! And that has not been the standard since LONG before this country exsisted.

[TomSea]

All the Dem Senators for the most part are doing, is grandstanding on this, "thank you for all of the sexual assault victims in the US"... I think Mitchell is doing okay.

She's a professor.  It would be very enlightening if there were videos of her teaching.  I would love to see how she acts in front of a group of students.  I'm betting the difference is 180 degrees.

I'm betting the 'real Ford' is quite different from what she is portraying here today.
