Dr. Ford’s worst fear was that she would destroy her life, tell you her story, do her duty... and no one would believe her. You are poised to do exactly that. May God have mercy on your souls.

Republicans want to know how Dr. Blasey Ford paid $200 for a polygraph, or who paid for it. I and a few million Americans would like to know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's $200,000 debt for baseball tickets.

Angry, belligerent bully. That is when he is sober. This is not the temperament of a Supreme Court Justice. He plays the victim, too. Classic excuse of an abuser. "Look what YOU made me do."

weak points for Ford: none weak points for Kavanaugh: full partisan, doesn't want FBI investigation, throwing Qs back at Democrats, deploying sympathy for Judge's health problems as shield, mocking relevance of high school yearbook entries related to allegations from that time

Judge #Kavanaugh was angry, belligerent, and disrespectful. He displayed the exact opposite of the kind of temperament expected from a justice on our nation’s top court. Judge Kavanaugh displayed the kind of behavior you would see on the People’s Court, not the Supreme Court.

Lynne Brookes, a former classmate of Kavanaugh, alleges he was misleading about the extent of his drinking at Yale. “There is no doubt in my mind that while at Yale, he was a big partier, often drank to excess and there had to be a number of nights where he does not remember.”

Asked what her strongest memory is, Dr. Ford says, "The laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense." "I was underneath one of them while the two laughed. Two friends having a really good time with one another."

I think that what I’m witnessing are the protestations of patriarchy and privilege. It whines and it rages when it is threatened with being denied that to which it is owed, as birthright and gender benefit. And how dare a woman be the impediment.

Kavanaugh’s 1982 calendar details a July 1st drinking gathering at a friend’s house with two people who Dr. Ford alleges were at the gathering she attended. This was hardly addressed today and is all the more reason to do more investigating before a vote.

Kavanaugh lied under oath over and over again. That’s a fact. And the fact that the GOP has no problem confirming a perjurer and someone credibly accused of sexual assault to the highest court in the land is unspeakable.
