1. the scripting

This was a scripted political event -- aimed to convince "the base" that Democrats are evil.

*feigned deference and gentleness toward Dr. Ford
*artificial time constraints
*inadequate investigation
*tantrums
*speeches from Repug senators to minimize talking from Kavanaugh
*filibuster of Democrats' questions
*pretense that hearing her and hearing him under these circumstances is equivalent to FBI investigation getting sworn statements from all witnesses they might track down
