    He knows this is a disaster for them.
    Well, he comes off as a pissed off curmudgeon who doesn't have the time to be bothered by all this. I found it very telling how he made sure not to address Dr. Ford after her opening statement about what occurred. How do you not acknowledge that horrible story she just recounted? You know how, when you don't fucking care!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Can someone explain to me why Mark Judge hasn't testified or hasn't been heard from? If I'm missing something please let me know. Otherwise, as I see it, someone's being held in a fucking bunker until Fuckface's nomination is confirmed.

    Because it's not about getting the truth

    How a confirmation could even happen without Judge's testimony is insane. Completely fucking insane.

    He's in hiding at the beach, reporters have found him so I'm sure the FBI could easily do so. But 45 would have to ask for that and there is 0% chance of that.

    You know what, it's good that everyone can see how sexual assault accusations are really handled in a court in this country. Listening to that prosecutor question her should make it clear to everyone why so many women do not come forward.
    And 99% of rape cases that go to trial end in a not guilty verdict. 
    I found that stat interesting, so I looked it up. This is what I found:
    It looks like about half of rape trails end in convictions.
      
    But only about about 2% of cases reported to police end in convictions. Your figure reflects reported cases, not trials. Most just never make it to trial.

    But yet only between 2% - 10% of reported sexual assault cases are classified as either a false allegation or baseless. Our country fucking sucks at fixing the rape culture.

    I don't think those maps and this prosecution approach is what the GOP wants to be taken away from this...

    It's so fucking weird. Everything is backwards. They are prosecuting someone claiming to be a victim. There should be a prosecutor to ask Kavanaugh his questions as well.

    Excuse me, 99% of reported rape cases end in no rape conviction. Plea deals for lesser offenses are pushed. Now if this had been an African American male who had been accused ........no wait, I just realized the idiocy of my statement.

    The way they are proceeding with this - having to stop every 5 minutes to go between a prosecutor and a Senator is extremely disconcerting to me. I can't imagine how she is dealing with the ham-handed format.

    Yeah, it seems very odd to me as well.

    Interesting that your take on his nonsense doesn't actually question the integrity of the candidates being completely unequal which has led to issues with nominees, but instead placing blame on the other party.

    Every time Mitchell gets a turn she reminds me more and more of Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, especially when she tries to make an awkward joke based on the question she asked trying to back Dr. Ford in to a corner.

    Realizing there would need to be a Constitutional Amendment change to make this happen, but would you liberals allow this scenario in this order:

    1)  Appoint Judge Kavanaugh immediately.
    2)  Do complete FBI investigation - if proven guilty, he is removed and we start over again.  If not guilty, life goes on
    So this is a Liberal & conservative issue not a human issue ...

    I am behind by about 25 minutes. Knowing this is coming may have me watching this into the evening.

    Jesus christ, they are stalling on allowing the polygraph, but if it had shown she was lying they would take it in a heartbeat.
