    I dont disagree save pulling the nomination.

    The process deserves an up or down vote. Let's have it and move on.

    Trump is no more going to pull K's nomination than old man Bush did when Clarence Thomas got subjected to this abuse.

    There is nothing, whatsoever admirable about Dr. Ford. She has ginned up this 'hearing', made an accusation without proof and now expects people to believe it because she's emotionally damaged, for reasons we'll never know.

    You basically made sexist and derogatory remarks towards all men, and now you want to talk about human decency? You should resign your seat from the Senate, you hypocrite.

    Exactly! There are millions of people that could go sit in that chair and lie their backsides off for hours and they would all seem "honest" to the average person!

    Even more so, there is a chance that this really happened to her and that she truly believes it was Brett Kavanaugh that did this; but, she could still be wrong!

    The problem for everyone is that she has no proof of anything!

    That is truly one of the bigger problems here! If Dr. Ford is believed on her word with zero evidence men will be damned forever. All accusations will be true and every man is guilty!

    If Donald Trump said "All women should shut up and do what they're told", it'd be a media firestorm. When Hirono makes the same statement, there's virtually crickets. I want someone to run against her, or for her to resign lol.

    This stupid ditz is a Dr. and she can't keep anything straight.

    She doesn't even know what "speak on your behalf" means.....

    "I don't understand".....

    This is NOT a criminal investigation. Are you serious?

    It's a political litmus test. It's a test for Kavanaugh. It's going to come down to who was more believable and who was more credible.

    Is Feinstein about to "grab some *****?" Looks like it.

    She's my pick. She wasn't selected before because of Murkowski and Collins and there concerns over Row. We royally screwed up by losing Session's seat.

    Once a nominee is voted down, they won't be reconsidered. Kav, a phenomenal jurist looks to be going down, and he was the safe choice, does Trump want to see Amy go down too, or does he save her for later, after we have picked up a few more seats?

    Maybe we accept a 4/4 court and work on increasing our Senate representation.

    I watched her testimony. She was very earnest. It's easy to tell when someone is lying. She's being honest about things when she says she doesn't have details, or, that she does not have dates, etc.

    She's being very honest. It's easy to tell.

    She was elected in 2012, and Senators have a 6 year term. So YES, a Republican in Hawaii can use this and beat her out of the seat. Please let that happen.

    Barrett is a Catholic.

    She's a total religious demagogue.

    We absolutely cannot have a religious psychopath on the court.

    Looks like Feinstein has Murkowski cornered in a door way preventing her from getting out, isn't that a sexual assault?

    So she's honest that she has no evidence, she doesn't even have evidence that her recollection doesn't 'fade' from her. She can't even explain why she can't remember what happened two months ago(Giving her records to the WP) but we're expected to believe she remembers a 35 year old attack.

    Why is she even here? I suspect once people step away, and are able to be rational again, you'll understand that she was no more credible today then she's ever been.

    Again. You can keep repeating the same bullshit but this is -not a criminal proceeding.-

    You need to stop replying and THINK.

    This is -not a criminal proceeding and it is not a criminal investigation.-

    This is a political test and it will come down to credibility and believability.

    Identity politics and it's why Democrats are labelled as being such hypocrites, it's because they are hypocrites.

    Do Democrats intend...even a LITTLE to portray to wanting to get behind the truth instead of trying to paint Ford as this 'willing victim wanting to come forward' nonsense. Because if not, we can just mute their mikes.

    I'm treating this like a criminal proceeding because your darling in distress has essentially accused Kavanaugh of a CRIME.

    So this deserves all of the seriousness, of not only cross examinations, but also examining the facts laid out.

    So since you seem to think none of that should be in consideration, let me ask you this: Is it believable that a woman couldn't remember an event that happened two months ago, but can remember explicitly what happened 35 years ago?

    And please save me the 'traumatic' memory bullcrap. That's not an excuse for not 'remembering' the WP post information.

    Sounds like she's taken a sedative to me.

    Democrats are trying to turn justice on its head by condemning Kavanaugh as guilty unless proven innocent
