gardiner, et cetera, will feel intense heat for the next two years. and it kavanaugh will not serve for life. that is very threatening, coming from brian fallon. he is essentially saying that they will fight to impeach him every step of the way. well, i would actually agree with number one and 92 what we have seen in the last few hoursr americans, people that i talk to you last night and this morning, on the one hand, they saw a woman who was calm. she wanted to be helpful, she answered questions honestly and said when she didn t know things. contrast that with judge kavanaugh, who was full of rage. he was angry and emotional, he tried to deflect questions. he did not present what a lot of people would think a judicial temperament should look like on the supreme court. and i heard from conservative, liberal, independent women over
we all saw it was a huge issue, but now in 2018, it is even bigger for both democrats and republicans who say it is a tough issue for them. it has jumped by nearly 20%, so they are going to be extra motivated when it comes to making a decision to turn out and get to the polls. it is really about motivation and who is going show up. bill: the one senator lindsem has been making comments a few moments ago, he is saying that kavanaugh earned a yes vote based on his testimony. before i go back and, just reflect for a moment on the institutions of federal government in washington, d.c. when a supreme court juste has to be held in such high esteem until you get to the robert corker scene from years ago, clarence thomas, and need help, and now brett kavanaugh and a doctor christine ford in
he did accuser democrats of lying in wait, and replacing advise and consent with search and destroy. he even went so far as to say that dr. ford s allegations were nothing more than i calculated and orchestrated political head. shield with apparent pent-up anger about president trump and the 2016 election. and revenge on behalf of the clintons. unbelievable. this was not someone who reflected an impartial temperament or the fairness and evenhandedness one would see in a judge. this was someone who was aggressive and belligerent. i have never seen someone who wants to be elevated to the highest court in our country behave in that manner.
monologue, fax versus motion, it is human nature. whether the accuser, dr. ford seems like a nice person, or brought seems like he was too indignant, to some extent, the senators were doing their job by putting that aside and thinking wait a second, what did we learn yesterday? that gives us a better son, factually, of what happened 36 years ago, given the fact that judge kavanaugh has no pattern of this type of behavior, no contemporaneous corroboration. it we are left with well, we want to talk to safeway because the accuser says she saw mark judge at some point in time, and he looked like he was as white as a sheet and ill. none of that had anything to do with the underlying allegation. and if someone has not judge kavanaugh for 22 years, spends my own time on the supreme court as a law clerk. this was a political exercise in
why they did not notify me of dr. ford s then confidential letter way back in july, so the fbi could weigh in this remark the fbi fbi would honor the confidentiality. i have had years of protecting confidentiality of whistle-blowers. another standard for an fbi investigation, as my colleagues have called for, or even more recently, people outside calling for, would result in another time of brutal attacks on dr. dr. ford and judge kavanaugh and their families. they don t deserve those sorts of vile threats that they are receiving, and it s unacceptabl unacceptable. it dr. ford has stated no
