Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) rebuked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) when she finished her opening comments, scolding her for bringing up the other allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
“I’m sorry you brought up about the unsubstantiated allegations of other people because we’re here for the sole purpose of listening to Dr. Ford, and we’ll consider other issues other times,” Grassley said.

If only there were some federal agency that could, you know, substantiate things. Perhaps a bureau that would be tasked with investigations of this nature.
It is not going to help Grassley and how the Republicans look, if it appears, all day, that he is interrupting the women when they speak. Feinstein should jump in every time he speaks to make an irrelevant point!

Ford, and we’ll consider other issues other times,” Grassley said.
Right after we have our committee vote that’s scheduled for Friday.
The epitome of a white entitled revolting misogynist white male can’t handle taking responsiblity fir his reckless misogynist dictatorship,
Durbin did well:
“I’m sorry for what this has done to you and your family,” Durbin said. “No one, no one should face harassment, death threats, and disparaging commenting by cheap shot politicians simply for telling the truth. You and your family should know that for every scurrilous charge and every pathetic tweet there have been thousands of Americans, women and men who believe you, support you, and thank you for your courage.”
The Democratic senator asked why the GOP majority refuse to press Trump for an FBI investigation, and he asked why they hadn’t subpoenaed Mark Judge — a Kavanaugh friend Ford had placed in the room as a witness and accomplice to the alleged assault.
“The fact that you are prepared to name both Judge Kavanaugh and eyewitness Mark Judge stands in sharp contrast to the obstruction we’ve seen on the other side,” Durbin said. “The FBI should have investigated your charges as in the Anita Hill hearing, but they did not.”
“Mark Judge should be subpoenaed from his Bethany Beach hideaway and required to testify under oath, but he has not,” he added. “Judge Kavanaugh, if he truly believes there’s no evidence, no witnesses that can prove your case, should be joining us in demanding a thorough FBI investigation, but he has not.”
