itself. it s clearly been operating on this leash. jennifer, it s a little ridiculous for democrats to think that if brett kavanaugh were to withdraw or his name were to be withdrawn because of anything that s found in this report, that suddenly donald trump is either not going to nominate somebody for two years or is going to nominate a liberal to the bench. why then for conservatives for whom it is important to have another conservative on the supreme court, why does this become about it being brett kavanaugh? well, i think the president has just dug in as he usually is. he s made this into another one of the divisive issues, a gender war he s used to rev up his base for the mid-terms. had they pulled him weeks ago they might have gotten someone through. there s now a general concern that they won t.
excluded from the process and all their information bears on key facts about brett cav that behavior, whether he was belligerent when drunk, whether he had the capacity to attack a woman when drunk. and he s lied about that and many other things in his testimony. and the question of why they would want to put someone on the supreme court who has such disrespect for the rule of law in terms of his own cannedness in testifying before the senate is beyond me. the court is supposed to be held in the highest esteem, the highest respect. it s our most supposed to be our most neutral and trusted institution, and they re about to trash it by trying to put this guy on the court as quickly as possible with this sham investigation. jennifer ruben, the danger now we are seeing, by the way, that for a lot of republicans this is, it s working what the president s doing. it s becoming a cultural rallying cry on some levels with donald trump saying that he s scared for young men.
hearing which was limited to five minute increment questions. the idea they would not go back to dr. ford also is appalling. i m not going to blame the fbi itself. it s clearly been operating on this leash. jennifer, it s a little ridiculous for democrats to think that if brett kavanaugh were to withdraw or his name were to be withdrawn because of anything that s found in this report, that suddenly donald trump is either not going to nominate somebody for two years or is going to nominate a liberal to the bench. why then for conservatives for whom it is important to have another conservative on the supreme court, why does this become about it being brett kavanaugh? well, i think the president has just dug in as he usually is. he s made this into another one of the divisive issues, a gender war he s used to rev up his base
the white house wants this to wrap up quickly, and frankly they aren t looking for bombshells. so purely based on the people we believe the fbi has been allowed to interview, there may be others we simply don t know about that haven t come public. but based on the ones we already know about, we don t believe there will be any bombshells tomorrow. and i think it s telling mitch mcconnell is already scheduling his vote. but i don t think he s expecting anything in that report to change his schedule to get kavanaugh confirmed this week. it does feel a little, lisa, like we re prejudging. but, lisa, last friday there was this sort of collective sigh of relief against those institutionals like jeff flake or those people thought a potential cloud is being lifted from the senate judiciary committee and supreme court by moving forward this investigation. could it be the worst of all
will be embarrassed. this will not end. the only way it ends, frankly, is if those three senators get the nerve to vote no. or or, julia, an investigation that passes the smell test of being thorough is conducted and everybody gets to be satisfied that the best investigation was done and comes to their own conclusion. because we re still in this world where people are dug in on either side. and by not interviewing these 40 people or 400 people or six more people, i don t know, i m not an investigator. but by not investigating them as jennifer says it leaves the whole process open to investigation. it leaves the judiciary committee open to question, and it leaves the supreme court open to question and challenge. exactly. there will be a lot of people left out of in the open here without a lot of cover. but i want to go over what these senators are going to look at tonight or potentially tomorrow. it s probably past the bedtime of a lot of senators already. but when they see this t
