Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on Tuesday called on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to allow for the lawyers representing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford to question the other’s client in a committee hearing this coming Monday.
Ford has publicly accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
I'm writing to the Chairman & RM of Judiciary Cmte respectfully recommending that at Monday’s hearing, counsel for Prof. Ford be allocated time to question Judge Kavanaugh & counsel for the Judge be granted equal time to question Prof. Ford, followed by questions from Senators.

And Mitch McConnell respectfully requests that no jury be present and that the presiding judge be named Kavanaugh.
Idiotic. Dr. Ford isn’t on trial, this isn’t a criminal matter. It’s Kavanaugh’s fitness that’s the subject here. Anyway, without witness/accomplice Mark Judge, the inquiry is a sham. If she wants objective analysis (as if …), get Trump to let the FBI do their job - vetting SCOTUS nominees.
Well that is certainly creative, Senator Susie. Why not a mock trial? Better yet, how about a Kangaroo Court? What the Fuck is wrong with her?? Don’t answer that.
How about a dunking chair?
Or trial by combat?
Maybe sew her in a bag, and toss it in a lake, to see if she sinks or floats?
It’s not a trial. Who’s the judge? Grassley? He’s not fit to judge “Best Hamster” at the county fair.How about more witnesses, including Mark Judge? I always knew Collins was a fraud. And every move she makes; every word she speaks, cements that interpretation.
