“I don’t think any of the present female Pub Senators are up to it, and there is no female Pub even on the Committee.”

Lindsey is close.

These women that come out of the woodwork after many years need to be directed to the nearest police station to report the crime they claim happened. Only if the man is convicted should anyone listen.

Innocent until proven guilty.

OOOOF!

Seriously, can only Senators on the Committee question a witness? Or can a Senator call on someone to act / speak for them?

Right.

“Anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has deserves to be heard, so I will continue working on a way to hear her out in an appropriate, precedented and respectful manner,” Grassley said in a statement."

"Dear Senator Grassley, what if the Dems manufacture 10 such claims? Or 50? One every 3 days or so..."

Senators on the committee can certainly ask questions.

Presumably, there is also a Republican counsel and a Democratic counsel, committee lawyers, who can ask questions.

The chair may also allow staffers to ask questions - it's up to whoever chairs the committee.

Senators who aren't on the committee can sit in on the hearings, but I don't know if they can ask questions.

Probably yes, at the discretion of the chair.

Pubs would get the “unfair attack on a woman by a man” schtick, big time...

Correct. My solution is the Pubs listen to her story. Senator Grassley asks her how old she was when it happened. Asks how old Brett was when it happened.
Then NO further questions by any Pub.
Let the Dems ask all the questions and show how stupid the whole thing is.
The Dems want footage of Republicans berating a woman.

DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM!

Of course.

So... The Pubs need to come up with Counsel or a staff member, female, who seems soft and demur, but is sharp as a tack and asks killer questions...

No, she does NOT. I have heard RUMORS that the DemocRATS have offered to DROP the smear campaign against Justice Kavanaugh IF President Trump HALTS the declassification of the FISA documents. I say NO DEAL! The accuser is nothing but a tawdry, lying slut.

These libs who blubber over Jean Valjean, are the same ones calling for Judge Kavanaugh to be sent to the guillotine. Evidently the didactic nature of art is far less didactic than it's cracked up to be.

They'd blubber if this were a leftist nominee. Their bleeding hearts are just waiting to bleed for the correct people.
