A well-orchestrated political move by the GOP — Ford and Kavanaugh are victims (well at least pretend Ford is a victim) and the Democrats are the enemy.
I think that was the right strategy.
Does Ford get off easy? Yes.
What’s the objective? Get Kavanaugh confirmed.
I believe that will happen. Today’s theater was to give cover (and put pressure) on Flake, Collins and Murkowski.
They’ll be on board and so will Manchin and Donnelly (D’s in tough re-election fights).
I believe that Flake was already on board - his pontificating yesterday was him laying down the marker and that the GOP was “respectful” but the Dems played dirty. I know, such adolescent posturing, but we’re talking politicians.
Graham did very well with Kavanaugh. I think that speech sealed the deal with the squishy GOPers, imo.
I can’t wait for the next Trump SCOTUS nominee (likely a female). Can the Dems go any lower? What will they drag out from under a rock?
Her questions are almost all tainted with democrat references.
LOVE her !
Yes. The abyss is bottomless.
What will they drag out from under a rock?
Somebody will say she paid for law school by doing a "dog and pony show" on a Tijuana street corner ...
