Do these Republican Senators realize how horrible they sound. Graham's 'outrage' is nauseating.
They are trying to make this about the process, rather than the accusation. A noble attempt I suppose but it's a stretch.
I just don't understand the absolute anger coming from Graham in particular. He could speak about process without being insensitive, dismissive and patronizing. He prosecuted rape cases as a JAG lawyer - he knows better.
It's a hopeless situation and I'm starting to believe that this hopeless situation is what 'they're' trying to achieve.
Voting in November has never been more important how do these old white guys look themselves in the mirrors and smile and how do their wives lay next to them at night ...
Yes that came out last night but from a totally anonymous source....
Sounds like it was a woman he was dating at the time actually - that doesn't sound too anonymous to me, i.e. we don't know her name, likely for their privacy, but some people certainly know who this person is, including Kavanaugh.

I thought Chris Matthews made a good point on Meet the Press this past Sunday morning. He said that Ford had a right as a good, responsible citizen to come forward about what happened. He said it is in the public's best interest to know of any such flaws of a man, that if gone undetected and kept silent, could still manifest in the future. Just because you sweep all those teenage problems under the rug doesn't mean that some darkness of that character is still not there. I am paraphrasing all this, of course. This is my take on it. Kavanaugh seems to have a spotless reputation in adulthood, so I would like to think that all this has not ruined his reputation like Trump says. I do believe there are women and lawyers who will make up stories that aren't true. However, I watched a little of Ford's testimony, enough to be convinced she is telling the truth and was a person violated a long time ago who tried her best to keep it quiet. I give the Republicans some credit for even having heard her out. I guess its not the Holocaust just yet. We still have that blessed freedom of speech.
Well now we have a woman saying he was sexually aggressive in the 2000s, so... yeah.
When did this come out? Is this a 5th accuser?
I don't even know now. But some woman has claimed that he pushed her up against a wall in a sexually aggressive manner in a bar when he was drunk, or something like that. I just saw that yesterday I think (edit: oh sorry, it allegedly happened in 1998).
That was one of two more that came out yesterday - it was reported to Cory Gardner (R-CO). He had a girlfriend during the Starr hearings period of his life and after a night of drinking, he allegedly pushed his girlfriend's friend against the wall while they were leaving the bar, in a sexually and violent manner. The friend is still traumatized and contacted the then girlfriend but they decided to remain anonymous in their letter to Gardner. When asked about this by the Senate investigative committee Kavanaugh denied everything. When asked if he had a girlfriend at this time, he asked for a description and without one he couldn't confirm her existence.
This is what was alleged and I have paraphrased.
There was also a 1985 allegation reported to Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) about an incident on a boat by both Mark Judge and Kavanaugh.. Kavanaugh denied this also.

Yes, I don't think Graham helped himself personally with that diatribe. He is deliberately forgetting this isn't a trial, either civil or criminal. For me, the bar is whether she is credible. She delivered much higher than that. The GOP didn't help their cause thus far today.

Take away all the irrelevant questions asked by the prosecutor and what are we left with? You know, do you fly? You have surfing interests? Can you name the houses on this street? I look forward to the transcript so I can cross off the irrelevant questions and attempts at disarming humor. I sincerely hope that no one on here’s daughter, wife, sister, female friend or relative has to experience the fear of remaining silent or having to go through testimony that would be 100 times worse than what we witnessed today.
If anything could come from this and hearing this douchebag hate-yell at Dems that it proves that the law is manipulated for nothing else but political gain. What pure garbage. There should be a better way to appoint the Supreme Court regardless, and without, political party affiliation.
