  1. No. Make him wait a little.

    This is already old information. Thursday’s vote has been called off and there will be a public hearing with Kavanaugh and Ford next Monday.

  3. But let’s discuss who should take the lead in questioning the Kav. I think I’d vote for Angus King, he’s a lawyer, he speakers well and with authority, and I’d like to see a white male go after this slime ball.

    He insists he was not there …wonder if he will swear to that under oath … or if he has some nonsensical word salad to avoid making a self incriminating statement.

    At the same time, hope she has the date, location, 5 people to corroborate her testimony, and photos showing his drunk ass puking off the back porch - or equally damning facts.

  5. King is good. Kamala Harris is a former prosecutor and AG of California and her questioning in this hearing has been awesome. So has Mazie Hirono. Is one Republican going to take the lead on Ford? I kinda suspect the whole pack of wild dogs will want their turn, including Hatch, Cornyn the Dim and others. So I dont see why the Democrats should be limited to one leading questioner on Kavanaugh.
