I don’t care if Ford will be questioned by Kavanaugh’s attorney. It’s setting a precedent that the Dems will perpetuate ad nauseam.

All he needs to do is deny the allegations. He'll even refuse to answer any questions about her motivations, too.

SEN. BOOKER: "Judge Kavanaugh -- why would Ms. Ford lie about such an allegation?"

KAVANAUGH: "I can't possibly answer any questions about another person's motivations. Go ask Spartacus and see what he says."

No disrespect to you sir, but Susan Collins has a lame idea.

The Senate is charged with the confirmation, not some outside attorney/ambulance chaser. Schedule the PRIVATE hearing sans the hired screamers in the morning and the vote in the afternoon.

We all know why the DemonRats are throwing up these issues....to delay the confirmation until after the November election. Dingbat Senator Hirono has already announced their plan...to obstruct on the hopes that the DemonRats steal back the Senate in 2018 or until 2020 if that doesn't happen.

Give her a few hours to embellish her vague claim UNDER OATH, let Kav respond and then vote. Thursday would be better than Monday.

So open up a new can of worms so the Dems can stall future hearings and votes with? You know it will happen. You don’t do for one, what you can’t, or won’t do for all. This could become a part of every nomination hearing, even the non-judicial ones.

Hmmm..what Collins is suggesting now makes sense.
No Spartacus theatrics, let the lawyers do the dirty work.

This is totally disgusting. The Demoncrats/Deep Staters are evil! RATS sat on this letter for MONTHS! NOT ONE QUESTION in committee was raised during the hearings. The Demoncrats have received the FBI's review of Ford's allegations and stated there is no crime - case closed. That there was no crime is key to this. However, the Rats had to throw this against the wall hoping something will stick? Republicans are going to act stupidly on this if they let a lefty lawyer drive the ship! It's being played that "old white men" (Republican Senators on the Judicial Committee) are not qualified to question the alleged victim because they don't have a front hole! This is unbelievable.

Judge Cavanaugh is effectively on trial with this process.

If I am the judge I go to the hearing and I make one statement. I make one sworn statement: "I read the accusation from the alleged victim. I categorically deny the statements in the letter. The events as described by the accuser may have happened with an individual. I can say with 100% certainty I was not that individual. I will not answer any further questions related to this accusation."

Questions for Ford:

When did you first remember that this event happened?

How well did you know Kavanaugh prior to this event?

What were the circumstances where/where you recovered this memory?

Did you tell anyone about this event at the time it happened?

What was Kavanaugh wearing that day?

When did the event happen?

Were you drinking?

Who were the four guys at the party?

Do you fear Kavanaugh becoming Supreme Court Justice? Why?

I notice your attorney is a Sorros affiliate, how did you meet?

(There are techniques to get a person to fabricate the details of an event and then confront them with the reality and cause them to self destruct) Present actual pictures of the house and pool.

As a psychologist are you professionally aware of the existence of false memories?

Have you ever been diagnosed with or treated for bipolar disorder or depression?

Why even have a Judiciary Committee if they won’t do their jobs?

Un effin' believable!

Rush is right: We may as well cash in the chips now, and call what's left of our country: "The United States of Jerry Springer". (my paraphrase of what he just said)

“The Demoncrats/Deep Staters are evil! “

All this for the right to keep killing babies.

It's much touchier to ask harsh, difficult question of an alleged sexual assault victim than it is to ask similar questions of the accused guy. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. Any Senator who grilled Ford properly would be blasted by the me too Nazis and Democrats. The Democrats will have no equivalent reluctance to go nasty early against Kavanaugh.

Very good point. Collin's idea would get someone, without political connections to hamstring them, asking the hard questions.

No, she doesn’t. Senators want the questioning without potential risk of the questions falling on the senators themselves. If they have to ask the questions, they are accountable for the questions. They want the hearing, let them ask the questions!

Reply; Democrat Senators have ZERO risk of asking anything they want...the more outlandish the better they look to their constituents.

It is remarkable how often people here post without understanding what they are talking about.

Collins is suggesting that the lawyer of the JUDGE be questioned. She did not ask that the lawyer for the PERFESSOR be questioned.

Read it again, because you’re one who doesn’t understand what you’re talking about.

Why would the attorneys for the parties be subject to questioning? That doesn’t make sense. She is suggesting that Ford’s attorney question Kavanaugh, and Kavanaugh’s attorney question Ford — equal time granted to each — and then the senators ask questions.

This asshat is exactly what the committee chairman is up against. Susan Collins, wish she would go away, permanently.

True...Ford’s hack lawyer is just an activist. Brett’s attorney is a top litigator who would destroy Ford under oath. And a female to boot!

Her office continues to receive death and rape threats from despicable Rat “activists.” Isn’t that special.

Hope this is a wake-up call for Susan re the pure evil of Rats who pretend they are “bipartisan”—until you don’t agree with them, and then they threaten to rape and kill you!!! I hope, but I’m not holding my breath.
