This woman is not lying but these ghouls on the committee are going to vote for Kavanaugh anyway. America is in a really bad spot. I wish I could live somewhere else.

TKO for Dr. Ford so far. The "cross examination" has not been very effective in trying to poke holes in Dr. Ford's memory and credibility. The GOP should be embarrassed at this spectacle but we know better -- it is beyond embarrassment having bought into Trump's weltanschauung.
The true test will be how this prosecutor questions Kavanaugh.

Someone took Trump’s cell phone away. He hasn’t posted in 16 hours. I need my fix. 😷

I'm interested in seeing what Sens. Murkowski and Collins say/do after today's testimony. I'm not so sure that the Senate will confirm, based on what I've seen/heard from Dr. Ford. Even Fox News commentators (Baier and Wallace) are vocally impressed by her credibility.

The first few posts in this thread really look bad right now. Ironically, the title of this thread may be fitting -- "A New Low" but for the GOP. That was a pretty pathetic "cross examination" of Dr. Ford. But the prosecutor didn't have the benefit of a prior investigation upon which to base her cross examination, thus it was more like a discovery deposition but that wasn't the prosecutor's fault. She never should have taken the assignment. The tap dance of Cornyn and Graham in their TV interviews after Dr. Ford's testimony is pretty pathetic. Graham is especially stupid. At least Cornyn beat feet away from the TV cameras as quickly as possible. Graham is still running his mouth. I expected him to say, "I've got the vapors!"

He's an old mormon. Women are nothing more than baby factories in his world. Their value is entirely measured by looks. He was trying to complement her but doesn't know how to.

WASHINGTON — As turmoil grows over sexual misconduct allegations against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, casting doubts over his confirmation to the Supreme Court, a group of Mormon women is calling on senators to suspend his confirmation proceedings until a thorough investigation is completed. www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/us/politics/kavanaugh-mormon-women.html

I think he's verging on senility like Grassley and are of a different generation. They are just cantankerous old men which is why they had to outsource the questioning to a "female assistant" in the words of Grassley. The prosecutor's disjointed cross was not helped by the five minute increments. And no, if asked to describe a witness after a deposition or trial testimony, "attractive" wouldn't be a word out of my mouth. Believable, credible, liar, lying sack of sh*t, maybe, but not "attractive." Prediction: Dr. Ford's appearance will be that of a human being. Judge Kavanaugh will be that of a lawyer evading straight answers to any difficult questions. Never a good look.

Kavanaugh going full Trump -- angry victimhood and conspiracy theorist. Playing to his audience of one -- Trump.

He's dropped any veneer of nonpartisanship.

It's hard to imagine this guy as an angry, violent drunk.

It's hard to imagine this guy as a Supreme Court justice, after this display. Judicial temperament? I think not.

Kavanaugh doesn't answer the question of why he hasn't asked for an FBI investigation -- simply says whatever the committee decides. Kavanaugh repeats talking point about the FBI "does not reach conclusions." No, but it finds facts and reports them to the decision maker. Feinstein does not effectively followup but lets Kavanaugh rail about "wanting to be here right away."
Simply ask for a yes or no response. Judge Kavanaugh, "Do you, as you sit here today want the committee to have the FBI reopen your background investigation?".
I've never "passed out" but "I've gone to sleep!" LOL.
"Prosecutor" throwing softballs at Kavanaugh.

If Kavanaugh cannot respond to questions from Sen. Feinstein without raising his voice, how is he going to handle questions from Sens. Blumenthal, Harris and Booker?
