    Probably because he's an entitled serial liar , pretty typical of his class . Wealth background.

    This whole charade just shows how divisive US politics has become. It’s hard to determine the truth of what ford and kavanaugh are saying, in their own ways both seem quite credible, but the idea that a Supreme Court nomination could be derailed by a 36 year old uncorrobarated allegation is absurd.

    I’m no fan of trump or Kavanaugh’s politics, but if this were happening in reverse, the response would be much different.

    It wouldn't happen in reverse though.

    Show examples of it ever have ?...

    What plausible reason would Kavanaugh have for not wanting an FBI investigation? He says his reputation is ruined. IMHO, the only way to clear his name and repair his reputation is for the FBI investigation to proceed. So what is he hiding?

    Why did the stupid prosecutor not just ask Ford

    Do you find it odd that each person who you now say was present has stated that they have no idea what you are talking about?

    You say you left the house without telling anyone. Doesn’t that seem like something odd that your female friend would remember?

    No one allegedly in the house for the alleged party corroborates your story. Why would they all lie?

    For one if a sitting Democratic president was under investigation and a number of his campaign team were under arrest or charged with various things, the Republicans wouldn't even allow a hearing to be heard.

    Republicans blocked Obama's pick for the supreme Court for a full year leaving seat empty yet they are trying to rush the worst possible candidate through even though seat currently is still filled..

    I'm wary of this #metoo stuff because of how easy it is for some deranged individual to make allegations that can be completely made up against someone and do real damage.

    However the fact there are 4 women would suggest there should be something more to it.

    He's coming across like a petulant teenager.

    like wtf, it's strange that people expect a guy who is out of nowhere accused of being a serial gang rapist to have perfect poise, given the fact that none of it seems even possible to disprove. Even if there is an fbi investigation it will likely not clear his name any further. People named by the accusers have refuted two seperate claims, one of which is a friend of the accuser? The gang rape one is just trash, that's the only one I know is untrue.

    But all in all, I'm sure he knows even best case scenario for him will be inconclusive, which if he didn't do these things is pretty good reason for anger.

    Why are people so surprised that he's taken an anti-Democrat stance for his defence?
    The Dems are all going to vote against him anyway.
    Most of the Republicans would still vote for him if he had goose stepped into the hearing in a glory suit.
    It was always the swing Republican senators that he would be playing to during this.

    They have to be bots. No human being can be this stupid. If these are actual human beings that seriously believe Trump is the greatest thing since sliced anything, we are all doomed.

    Meanwhile the other half of the country is shredding Dr Ford’s life and character. She and her family have had to leave home. Yet she responds with calm and intelligence. Funny that.

    There certainly isn’t a precedent for this, I’ll give you that. I mean the response here would be different. People tend to be blinded by their political allegiances (or dislike if the other side) rather than looking at matters objectively. This is a prime example.

    However much I don’t like Lindsey graham, the content of his interjection was actually spot on.

    You just summed up approximately 32% of the American electorate right there.

    I'm not sure if it can be done but reckon she should make a formal complaint on the floor to Senator Grassley about the judge's question and request Sen Grassley to formally reprimand the judge and remind him of his obligations in respect of courtesy to the committee. If Sen Grassley refused to do so, he would be letting himself liable to censure from the senate proper for not defending it from abuse by a witness.

    Ah. he's come forward with an apology to her. Some-one may have had a chat with him.

    The democrats don't care aboutthe FBI. This is about keeping a hard line conservative off the supreme Court at all costs and not over turning roe vs wade.

    Yeah ok ..

    Then why not just placate and have the FBI investigate from the start.

    Sure they'd find nothing
