Report: Kavanaugh accuser’s lawyer trying to impose “serious conditions” on her testimony
Hot Air ^ | September 18, 2018

No idea what this means. Presumably she wants the GOP to agree not to question Christine Blasey Ford about her personal background, e.g., sexual habits, drinking habits, and so forth, such that the hearing ends up with Ford being dragged through the mud.

I’m in the minority among the commentariat, though, in believing that it’s unlikely they’ll do that anyway. The optics of the hearing are already so terrible for Republicans, and the damage among women voters already so potentially grave, that they’ll be respectful of Ford out of self-interest if nothing else. Barring an unlikely meltdown of credibility at the hearing by Ford, it’s already a no-win situation for Republicans. Why make it worse by putting her through the wringer?

Republicans will need to be respectful of Ford in their questioning but Democrats will need to be disrespectful of Kavanaugh in theirs.

No conditions !!!

If they can't meet the standard of Ford having to stand up to cross examination they shouldn't have the hearing. That's like someone on the stand in court who the defense isn't allowed to cross examine, unacceptable and not part of any reasonable hearing.

That means they can’t ask her what she was doing under the bleachers that certain day and to whom she was doing it?

So she can’t be asked any questions about her credibility. Got it.

Because that’s “blaming the victim.”

The ‘Rat position is that Blasey Ford should be allowed to roll her stinkbomb out with no one questioning her allegations, motives, history, or character.

We’ve seen this too many times. The GOP better stiffen their spines on this or election time will look very grim. No more folding. Fight!

I hate to say this but the Kavanaugh nomination is one additional reckless allegation away from being sunk. This is what concerns me, not the terms of the Monday hearing. Hey, it’s what the Ds do.

No one may question the high school alcoholic pussy-hat wearing liberal who has made similar vague accusations before, against other men. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a single detail correct or consistent. It doesn't matter at all if she can't recall the date, location, how she got there or how she left. Got that?

Can’t hold the vote without getting two out of three women: Collins, Murkowski, Flake.

No conditions. There have been none on the poop-flinging Fartacus and Ugandan Giant to date to say anything they want about Kavanaugh, why should there be any on her?

I actually think they’ll have no problem getting Murky and Collins. That twat from Arizona, however...

Did you not watch the committee hearing? This isn’t respectful, it’s a knife fight.

Let the Republicans in the hearing be respectful. I'll repeat myself here. Everybody took pictures of everything back then and kept albums and boxes of pictures. Let's see some HS pictures of her behaving very badly. If she's the kind of gal who freely admits to going to unsupervised parties when she's 15, there must be some.

Me-too-ers are out of control. Used to be, even if what she said had an iota of truth to it, misdeeds from youth were considered adventures, not scandals.
