I think she was sitting there the whole time, I definitely saw her later in the hearing (not sure if the ENTIRE time, but well after she was no longer asking questions she was still sitting there), she just didn't ask any more questions after Graham's outburst. It didn't seem planned to me, it really seemed like a change of tactics. They realized they needed to go to bat for him.
Wasn't aware that she was kicked out. Not surprised that the Republican majority wouldn't want a skilled sex crimes prosecutor cross examining an alleged perpetrator though.
Ben, I'm assuming you've appeared before judges whom you didn't like or you didn't respect or you felt didn't treat you fairly. Have you ever acted the way he did?
Agree it was a change of tactics. They stopped her bc she had the integrity to ask questions directed to finding out facts and that was not what the questioning of Kavanaugh was intended to be. So, the tactics changed. I did not mean that they kicked her out of the room. I meant that they stopped her from questioning.
Witnesses are called a lot of things in court cases. No excuse for his behavior. He is a sitting federal judge. “Left wing conspiracy.” “Revenge by the Clintons.” Loud rants.
Revenge by the Clintons is especially disgusting from a man who is interviewing for a job on SCOTUS. That's something you hear from Alex Jones, not a guy who is supposed to be a respected judge.
Try calling the Judge whose rulings you don’t like a “left wing conspirator” or accuse the judge of ruling for revenge. Then again, this was a political committee. Of course, the accusations were made by Dr. Ford. Not the Dems. Kavanaugh acted like a bully who attempted to rape someone and was trying to intimidate anyone who would dare come forward. Certainly not like sitting federal judge who is comfortable with a hearing forum. Remarkable that Dr. Ford’s demeanor was so much more impressive.
Bodes well for political cases that go to the Supreme Court, doesn’t it? That is who Kavanaugh is. The real Kavanaugh came out today. Described as a beliigerent drunk? He was just belligerent today. Just as advertised. But, sober
Entitled folks don't like getting called out. The root of entitlement is to believe that one's behaviors shall have no consequence.
He was a sinking ship before Graham’s open mic interview to replace Sessions as AG post midterm started.
Great day for truth and the GOP! The liberal socialists (democrats) and their lying Ford were exposed big time today. Shameful of them, shame on them.
