You think Judge Kavanaugh should give up his sixth amendment rights?
I explained last night that I wouldn't want him in the room just for political optics. There would be one camera trained on him for the entire time she was testifying, and all of the most unflattering clips and still shots would be used in the MSM reports afterward.
If he insisted on being there while she testified, I'd be OK with having him there.
Was Clarence Thomas in the room while Anita Hill testified? Probably not. In that case, though, I suspect it was because he simply didn't want to waste his time.
