they did it in the anita hill/clarence thomas case. so as beth said, people are coming from their different corners wearing their different jerseys and it s pretty clear who s going to think she did better and who s going to believe judge kavanaugh. and yet we won t have we probably won t have a lot of new information to evaluate who might be telling the truth. and we re not even getting into the question, cory booker on one side is going for president and kamala harris. on the other side you have the old fogies like orrin hatch who just want to say she must be confused, that kind of argument. he always does that. they all know this isn t just a jury watching at home, they are all voters who are going to be voting in less than six weeks. that s really important to remember. women across the country have watched in polls as the approval for kavanaugh has fallen off after these accusations. it s going to matter how these senators handle this process. if they think this is all a rus

penchant point of view. it seems to me thanh did a great job there. the facts presented at trial. under oath, with a jury watching, the guy was convicted with nine witnesses saying show. all it sounds like an easy case to be a jury on, then all these years later, it s like disappearing ink. the pen was wet back then, it happened, he was convicted. he was. you know, look, flat-out i think this is an illustration of why the death penalty is wrong. and it took me a while to get to that position, and you have to say it s wrong not just for troy davis, but it s also wrong for the other gentleman who was excused tonight in texas, the guy that killed james byrd. a famous case. a horrific case.
