Kavanaugh comes across as very unlikeable and unfit for the Supreme Court.

He comes across as someone incapable of working with others.

Let's see how you would behave in a similar situation.

Ford looked like she was high and talked like a valley girl. She wouldn't answer a single question without being coached by her lawyers. Kavanaugh was up there alone and defended his integrity well (even though she had months to prepare).[/quote]

Yes, IMO Ford still comes off as a confused and frightened 15-year-old.

Not true in any way.

Kavanaugh essentially stated he does not want an FBI investigation into the sexual abuse accusations.

Neither does Joe!

As everyone knows, it is about playing to the base in prep for the upcoming election. Rep’s will energize their base if he is confirmed

Your political biases are so easy to spot. The divide continues to grow, because we no longer produce reasonably minded mature adults who know how to work together or have civil discourse.

Says it all:

Unfortunately, many in the USA cease emotional development somewhere between 16-18 years of age, apparently Kavanaugh and Ford included.

Graham went for it, but didn’t rise to the level of “Do you believe Anita Hill?”

Classic!

Perverted, deviant frat boy never grew up.

He looks and sounds like this guy. Except maybe he parts his hair on the other side.

At the scoutus level, they are, in addition to resolving conflicts among federal circuits, interpreting what the constitution says. Likability is not very relevant in practice. In fact, more than a few such judges are not personally likable, IMO.

What? You wouldn't want to party with Justice Ginsberg?

The USSC, like other organizations, is composed of different personalities that don’t necessarily harmonize, but that work together nonetheless—or if not together, then at least side-by-side.

There are large egos, even some who are politically similar don’t really like each other (apparently)

Wouldn't that be obstruction of some sort?

This woman needed to be heard and she was. She sounded credible and probably was assaulted by someone.

He also needed to be heard and was. I have never heard anyone EVER out of DC sound that credible. She probably was assaulted, but not by BK.

The Left has taken its hatred and vileness to another level. An evil level. This is disgusting.

And yes libs you are on the wrong side of history on this one. Have some decency and quit Team Jacka$$. I'm not saying to join Team Elephant either. Unbelievable what the USA political seen has become.

I don't believe him. I believe he is a reformed privileged frat boy underneath the honorable judge facade. His friend Mark admits to having participated in a drunken gang session at one of the now-famous parties. You are the company you keep. And he kept Mark as company for a long while. Look at the year book entries.

I thought it was very interesting that Kavanaugh stated that he did not listen to Ford’s testimony.

I thought he testified second to defend himself of her allegations.

So it would be vital to listen to her sworn testimony and respond to it.

Instead he spent the time practicing his denials.

+1 Bravo

I just finished watching both hearings. You can't fake the emotion he showed in his opening statement. You just can't do it.

These the twitter talking points?

The timing of the whole thing is ridiculous. Presumption of innocence must be upheld. Enough with the twitter mob justice.

Due process is owed to everyone.

Mass hysteria is an ugly thing.

An accuser said who and what, but can't say where or exactly when.

She said she had one beer, so no memory impairment from that.

She said she told her fiance 16 years ago, so she didn't just suppress the whole thing. But since then she still never remembered where or when.

Not credible. There is nothing presented that can be corroborated; the who's mentioned deny the what, and there is, all too conveniently, no where or when to corroborate anyone's testimony.

Repetitio ad nauseam of the word "credible" from public figures and the assembled mob doesn't make it credible. Public figures lie and mobs lack reason.

Anyone considering themselves left-wing and caught up in that behavior should be ashamed. What a pathetic joke America's bourgeois, Hollywood "left" is.
