I’m trying to give the benefit of doubt to the Republicans on the committee but it is very hard to do so at the moment.
Don’t bother.
Pray for Kavanaugh.
The benefit I extend to those who seek political office, i.e. avowed sociopaths, is a little bit less than nil.
I have heard it said that the very worst person to put on the stand isn’t eyewitness because they simply cannot be believed. This for at this thread now with over 3000 posts exactly proves this point. I’m assuming everyone here has either heard or is watching this hearing and yet there are so many different opinions of what we’re seeing some say that the attorney for the Republicans has made a mockery of Ford pointing out of all her inconsistencies and fabrications. Others say that Ford is just doing a great job and the council for the Republicans is ineffective. Well it surely can’t be both can it?
What the public believes is not important in this case. It is what the Republican Senators believe. They are only looking for cover to vote for Kavanaugh. And the inconsistencies in Ford’s story I’ve given them that and don’t forget the other allegation which were made at the last minute. To date if they’re all the settings done there is not one single corroborating Witness who has stood up and said they heard about this happening 37 years ago.
Mitch McConnell has already said this will be going to the full senate floor for an up-or-down vote. And he did say that will happen whether this gets out of committee or not. I’ve been interested and know enough about politics to believe that no way Mitch McConnell would put this out on the floor for an up-or-down vote if you didn’t know that he had enough votes on board for confirmation.
