Has Harris questioned Kavanaugh yet

[gabeana]

I had to step out for an hour

[Ninga]

1. Nope

[CincyDem]

2. Next up after Cruz I believe.

[emulatorloo]

3. Not yet

[BumRushDaShow]

4. She's coming once the gasbag from Texas is done.

[jcgoldie]

5. I can't wait for her

If the last hearings are any indication, he's terrified of her.

[malaise]

6. On now. n/t

[budkin]

7. FINALLY

Chew his ass up!

[mnmoderatedem]

8. she kicked ass!

forced him into a situation where he filibustered when asked if he would request a white house FBI investigation regarding the recent allegations. He would not answer.

"I'll take that as a no".

[SunSeeker]

9. She just finished. I thought she missed an opportunity.

Let him filibuster.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. How so?

[SunSeeker]

11. She should have asked what evidence he had the Clintons conspired against him.

And whether it's possible that someone who is first in his class could also committ rape.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. He would have never answered that in any direct way

The fact that he acted like a gerbil going all over the map about his school daze would mean that she would not have gotten her final nail in.

[SunSeeker]

15. Of course, which would show he had no evidence, just spoutung crazy conspiracy theories.

She could close with, "What kind of judge comes up with a paranoid theory without facts?"

[BumRushDaShow]

16. I forget who did it but it may have been Blumenthal who covered the CT topic

Have to go back over the testimony. I do know it was brought up rather vociferously.

[SunSeeker]

18. Good. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Here is one place where it came up

(starting at 25:40)

[SunSeeker]

20. He let him filibuster. Sigh.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. The only one able to completely shut him down was Corey Booker

It was a thing of beauty.

24. Kavanaugh keeps lying that "the witnesses there say it didn't happen."

The witnesses (other than Dr. Ford), all say they don't remember that night. That is VERY different than saying it didn't happen. Why did everyone let Kavanaugh get away with this repeated LIE? Why didn't they say he was LYING?

Even Booker, after pointing out that Dr. Ford's friend said she believed her even though she could not remember that night, still needlessly and gratuitously added that her friend's statement "corroborates" what Kavanaugh is saying. WTF?

And why did Booker keep saying Dr. Ford spoke "her truth"? She spoke THE truth. Calling it her truth makes it sound like it is real only in her mind, like she might be imagining it.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Remember that all of the Ds (except Feinstein) are lawyers

so their lines of questioning also reflected their training. But also remember that a "hearing" is not a "courtroom" and the point of the (D)s' arguments was to insist on allowing further info to be obtained in order to help to validate what happened.

And the "her truth" is legal-speak for the lay observers to underscore that it would need to be resolved in a court. And as arrogant as Kavanaugh was about "Yale", Booker also graduated from Yale (as did both Clintons who he went after).

13. She let him go on too much

Just repeating the same things

[BumRushDaShow]

14. She didn't do a complete shutdown like Cory Booker did

but she DID force him to concede points that her colleagues could not get him to concede (and it's all in the record).

17. I would have cut him off and said, ...

As a judge, when you hear a witness respond to a yes or no question with a rambling nonresponse, doesn't that tell you the witness is evasive?


Why do you think talking about your class rank is responsive to whether you assaulted a woman?

[sarah FAILIN]

25. Exactly.

Rambling wastes time though and that is what he wanted.
