The "emotionally fragile" one in the hearing

John Dickerson @jdickerson
The Wall Street Journal Editorial page described Christine Blasey Ford as “emotionally fragile” in her testimony. Do people find that characterization accurate or not?

Sam Stein @samstein 7m7 minutes ago
Brett Kavanaugh yelled, cried, asked a senator if she ever passed out from drinking and pushed conspiracy theories about the Clintons. But Ford was the emotionally fragile one?

But I also think that "emotional fragile" is a vague concept.

I believe that Dr. Blasey's testimony was very courageous, honest, and accurate, whether or not it was emotionally fragile.

I believe that the extreme partisanship of Kavanaugh's testimony and the disrespect that it showed towards the efforts of Democratic Senators to get at the truth should disqualify him from occupying any position on any court of law. I believe that it says something terrible about the state of our country that our President would nominate such a person for the USSC and that close to a majority of our Senate would be willing to confirm him.
