considering that it was the democrats that foisted this sham on the senate, it is proper that kavanaugh calls them out for it. when he was first being grilled, he gave due deference to the senators, even though the democrats were attacking him mercilessly.

Yes, a look at the Innocence Project and you can find plenty of cases where these men were later exonerated by DNA evidence.

Sorry, but that's not evidence. That's just me saying "I'm sure it was him." There are absolutely no corroborating witnesses and no evidence whatsoever.

People are sometimes mistaken.

I thought he was a good candidate at first but now he seems like a partisan hack. The pubs just finished stealing a seat on the high court from dems and they have the nerve to act indignant. Puhleez.

No guilt was proven today. A prosecutor would never have even thought about bringing this case to trial.

Graham is a southern conservative gentleman. He sees what this is doing to the country and what it WILL do if this man is not confirmed and is sickened by it, as MANY of us are.
Lindsey Graham is an absolute badass, Rambo Terminator 2 Dirty Harry and Jack Bauer and Kung Fu rolled into one and he should be President some day.

So at what exact moment in time did you come to the realization that President Donald J Trump is our President? Or have you yet?

Oh nice.

But what about the POLL!?

WHAT about the 81 Votes on the POLL!?!

Waa! Not my Jwudge! Waa!

It was a notch or two better than the bish-slap he gave to FBI when grilling Wray and Strzok.

It is not about whether the accuser is credible. It is whether the accusation is credible, with the accuser's word just being a small part of that. Just FYI.

In all three cases (or four, or five), these accusations were not credible.
Well, all in all, it was a mighty fine day for the Republicans and Kavanaugh, a disgusting and filthy and slimeball day for the Democrats, and wow!

How the media tried to gloat on this disgusting display and sham accusation.

And yes, more than one occasion I woke up without a clear recollection of what I did the night before-lucky to live through those days.

One thing that strikes me as odd is the age difference. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read she was 15, he was 17. So either a freshman and junior, or sophomore and senior. Now-what strikes me as odd, is that 15 year olds are socializing with 17 year olds at parties. The vast majority of the ones I went to with booze, it was seniors, with the occasional junior GF. No sophomores or freshmen, unless maybe they were the little brother/sister of the host. Anyone else see this as odd? Even more-I can't say I can place many parents at that era that would let their 15 year old daughters go to alcohol-laced parties with juniors/seniors. And finally-I have trouble picturing many 15 YO girls that would go to such a party alone, without a friend their own age. Strike anyone else as odd?
Dr. Ford was friends with the other few girls at that party. I assume they were her age. Brett and Mark may have crashed the party, seeing as they were drunk...

Democrats don't care whether this is true now or 36 years later. All they care about is if people believe them now.

Agreed!! And her "flying" that was supposed to keep her from earlier questioning, her living 20 minutes away from the supposed location, in which, she has no remembrance or had anyone stand up and say, "I am the one who drove her home", everyone who was supposedly at the party denied her account, not knowing who paid for her polygraph.


Lastly, her anti-Trump lawyer, we've all seen the video, going pro-bono for her.
