Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearings

[jj22]

At the very least, Kav proved to be a partisan hack (blaming Clinton! Under oath! He wouldn't risk penalty of Perjury to the FBI. Which we know is the real reason he refused to call for them to investigate). What Supreme court nominee gets into Politics so openly and carelessly, and a man who has had issues with alcohol from a very early age (my high school year book isn't full of drinking games, and drunken beach weeks). Where was his parents? How did he get so much alcohol? These are questions Ford who had to identify houses would have faced. Either way all of which makes him unfit for the highest Court in the land. Republicans hoped Ford wouldn't testify so they can look like they were interested in getting to the bottom of it. Well. After she was questioned relentlessly from a prosecutor. That same prosecutor got 2 questions off to Kav, and the Republicans stepped in to end the hearing, and turned it into politics. Something Ford didn't get the benefit of.

So they never intended on Kav having to testify or answer real questions. Why didn't he get asked if he even knew Ford? They banked on Ford not showing up and tried to call her bluff. When it didn't work, they attempted to save Kav by ending the prosecutors questioning and attacking Dems with conspiracy theories etc. Shameful.

Also, a tweet I agree with.

What I can't get over, thinking back on yesterday, is the Republicans never discredited Ford's testimony. They never even said they didn't believe it. They just decided to ignore her and everything she said the moment Kavanaugh began talking.
