pages of documents from judge kavanaugh s time on the executive branch. this was more pages of such documents done the last five supreme court nominees combined. in short, it was almost thorough thorough and transparent confirmation process. i m going to put the rest of my statement in the record because i m sure a lot of people are irritated right now, and i will let them express that irritatio irritation. i will call on senator feinstein and then put the rest of my statement in the record. thank you, mr. chairman. i m very disappointed that we are here today voting on this nomination, especially in light of the testimony that we heard just yesterday. my republican colleagues spend their time at the hearing focused exclusively on policy and partisanship. the majority argued that the sexual assault dr. ford experienced was nothing more
would say when it comes to the judicial nomination process, every cost on senate has embraced before kavanaugh has been pretty much destroyed. here is what i m going to say. somebody dismisses this letter, they leak it to the press, not giving of damn about her for political purposes. slow this vote down, try to destroy judge kavanaugh, completely indifferent to the effects that it had on dr. ford. what i do not believe, it was dianne feinstein. i like dianne feinstein, i don t believe she would do this. but somebody did to, and the three groups to look at, her staff, the lawyers, angela congresswoman from california. the details that were leaked out did not come from a friend.
over two weeks ago. if the president ends the republican majority had asked for the fbi to an investigation at that time like we asked, it would likely be finished by now. and most importantly, one judge kavanaugh house talked to to republicans repeatedly, none of us have spoken to her? judge, patrick smith, leland keyser, or the polygraph examiner. none of us have talked to or questioned lynn brooks, liz swisher, or chris dudley. it not one senator, as far as i know, have had the opportunity to question deborah ramirez or julie swetnick. my colleagues all right. we should not rush to judgment, and it s not fair to assume judge kavanaugh is guilty
intelligence into the secretary of state, any foreign national who engages or conspires to engage in improper interference should not be allowed to enter our country under any circumstance, except to stand trial. yesterday, we heard testimony from dr. christine blasey ford and judge kavanaugh, regarding sexual assault allegations that dates back to when the two were in high school. it was difficult and emotional for both of them. at the end of the day, the three witnesses, dr. ford named denid any knowledge of the event she described. judge kavanaugh, fortunately, denied to the allegations. the alleged behavior is inconsistent with everything else we know about him. hundreds of people, including women he knew in high school attested to his character and fundamental decency as a person both in high school and now.
histories. at times she was in tears as she encountered recounted an alleged assault. judge kavanaugh then came in and defended himself, calling this a national disgrace. the details about that night that bring me here today are the ones i will never forget. they have been seared into my memory and have come back to me episodically as an adult. i have never done this. to her or to anyone. it s not who i am. it is not who i was. with what degree of certainty do you believe that brett kavanaugh assaulted you? 100%. speak out what you re saying, if i understand it, is that the allegations by dr. ford, ms. ramirez, and him and ms. swetnick are wrong. that is emphatically what i am saying. they were laughing with each
