I would hold the hearing anyhow and give Kavanaugh the floor to defend himself. “High Tech Lynching” was Clarence Thomas’ finest moment.

And give the democrats another show? No way!
A second, and I think more important point. I think that this today is a travesty. I think that it is disgusting. I think that this hearing should never occur in America. This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation. How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country, would like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion? Or this dirt dredged up and this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner? How would any person like it?
The Supreme Court is not worth it. No job is worth it. I am not here for that. I am here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity. I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this.
This is not a closed room. There was an FBI investigation. This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace.
And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. -- U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.
He doesnt need to defend himself. He can give a pablum report to the committee and reference his sorrow for the girl and link it to binge drinking as quoted in the yearbook. Parents and schools should play a better role in the proper development of young impressionable minds, realizing the lifetime mental issues that can be caused by binge drinking.
How many times did Lanny Davis go on TV and say "there's no poof!" and everyone nodded their head and loved it.
