Judge Brett Kavanaugh & Professor Christine Blasey Ford Testify

The Senate Judiciary Committee hears testimony from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Christine Blasey Ford about her allegations that Judge Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were teenagers.

[Pravious]

The two girly men on Fox—Brett Baier and Chris Wallace—think it’s a slam dunk that Ford is doing great, but the prosecutor is not stupid.

And, wouldn’t know know it, they’re two of the biggest never-Trumpers on that network.

[TigerClaws]

I think given the number of accusations there may be some independent investigation with a report. Delay delay.

Or just vote. Let chips fall where they may.

Not good so far. No punches landed. Slow roll.

[dforest]

The prosecutor is not used to only getting 5 minutes at a time.

[KavMan]

Stupid FOX News panel like Wallace is saying Democrats are killing it

[Reno89519]

Was it normal for her at 14-15 to be going to parties with boys and drinking? When did she start doing this?

[matt1234]

Using Mitchell was a mistake

When men hide behind a woman's skirt, it's usually a mistake.

[DrewsMum]

Thanks for that reminder to remind my own boys. Ugh.

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks, I’m not surprised.

[fatima]

How could she not remember how she got home.Makes no sense.

[SoCalConservative]

Insane in the brain!

[DCBryan1]

Looks like the Dem plan is to
1) Get her to cry and look traumatized,
2) enter into the record thousands of fake letters of support from feminists (notice no witnesses or family member statements),
3) Delay, delay, delay by leading to the inevitable monthS! long FBI investigation where his nomination will decay.

[rdcbn]

She’s only 53? Wow.

"We are getting KILLED....."

Not from where I sit. That prosecutor is poking some holes in her story. You've got to remember, this is a tough one to question. They've already given her a free pass on her memory, which is absolute in some circumstances to non-existent in others.

Any time a contradictory question is posed, Ford just gets to say, I don't remember those details....

However, the "music" thing was good. And the address thing will be good. She caught her in a good lie about hearing the conversation downstairs.

[SteveH]

Grassleys side point just before the break could imho be characterized as concern for due process and in particular the right to a speedy hearing, if a term needs to be coined. Perhaps the rights of the american people also need to be considered.

[tina07]

They needed someone more like Jeannine Pirro, with grit.

[glenduh]

Keep hearing two men. I read one man two interviews.

[Beatthedrum]

I’m no expert, but the way she keeps looking down and away, classic signals of lying

[rollo tomasi]

She better hurry up, there are only about 7 5-minute rounds for her questioning left.

[1Old Pro]

But the attorney’s work is too meticulous for this setting...she is going to have to speed it up.

Agreed, it's not a courtroom with unlimited time, big difference. Hopefully they discuss this during the break.

[TigerClaws]

The republicans didn’t sand the optics of men questioning a Woman. That’s why.
