“Because a good trial lawyer brings out the negative about his or her client on direct examination before opposing counsel gets to control the narrative.”

Yup. And this is a case where there just isn’t much negative to come to light. Kav was a pretty normal kid who became an extraordinary man.

Chris Wallace says he matched the emotion of Ford.
Did Wallace have to practice showing his emotion?

Dare to turn on CNN. It exactly what you would think. One commentator just said, very effectively, democrats have seen what they wanted to see today, and republicans have seen what they wanted to see today. Saying it’s exactly like Anita Hill.

That could be because they already know they have the votes. I don’t necessarily agree that they should be doing nothing even if they know Kavanaugh is in.””””

THAT is the ONLY reason that this is going this way...

I never cried as a kid - as never a part of my DNA.

I always rubbed dirt on it and walked it off - good as new!

Well, it is exhausting trying to remember which lies to tell, and how not to get crossed up with the other ones you told. My take is this woman has some mental issues, and is an attention seeking whore.

I’m not fighting with you but I chased a lot girls 70s 80s early 90s

My generation in the South and Latin America where I tended to focus women didn’t swoon over men weeping unless a really good reason

Kavanaugh is a little weepy that’s ok if it gets him on that court

Had crying worked with girls in my day I’d damn sure tried it

I can recall as a child being conditioned not to cry as a man and endure pain

It was expected

This hipsters cry over spilled macchiato foam

Do you younger gals have plenty sentimental guys to pick from

Caveat from war dude lol

Tears don’t mean empathy

It’s like guilt versus shame.

Which is more righteous

Shame is.

Tears can be too

And in the case of your tribe they are a tool

And they work

Tell me I’m lying

I’m glad y’all are eating it up
Maybe 51 senators will now

God love ya dear

Next time you’re on a national stage having your very honor destroyed, give me a call.

Twice I’ve had my honor attacked, unfairly in both cases. In one case, there were literally company executives holding me down in my chair so I didn’t attack the accuser.

Yes, emotions get the best of you at times. I suspect the Judge hasn’t had much sleep the last few days which also doesn’t help.

Get off your judgmental horse.

In the final reckoning the only person who remembers the party is Ford. Everybody else says it didn’t happen. End of story.

I didn’t see Ford, but I think Mitchell is just asking the various questions that need to be answered. And after already stating that he was never at a party with Ford, she gave him another five questions for him to be able to say “no” to with regard to the allegations about his interaction with Ford.

I was just waiting for her to go from talking about Ford to a question like “At ANY time have you ever rubbed your genitals against ANY female?”

Its tricky. I have been in a similar situation when votes were promised up front but not delivered later. In the real world, there are turncoats who say one thing and then do the opposite. You can never count on anything was the lesson i learned, the hard way.

“Feinstein was clearly scared off”

I thought she was about to pass the rest of her time back to Mitchell!

Very annoying hearing that Ford and Kavenaugh were both credible. She was a mess.
