    I thought the witnesses that she named had no recollection of the events happening?

    lol right.

    He was celebrated during the questioning of the Kavanaugh (remember the "sparticus" thing?)

    So we celebrated an admitted sexual abuser in order to take down an alleged one who categorically denied it.

    Anyhow, we'll see how Mr. Booker is treated in 2020

    One, Mark Judge, did. Not under oath, though. If it’s fair to get her story under oath, I’m not sure why it should be any different for him.

    Legally speaking, this is not a difficult call, is it? While it would be better to have these individuals interviewed ahead of time, since we’re insisting that a senate hearing is the only way to proceed, this is the only way to make that hearing approach fairness. This is not gamesmanship, just simple fair play.

    pointing out the blatant hypocrisy is old and tired but goddamn it never ends.
    Hewitt is making two wildly different points here that aren't hypocritical at all... intelligent people should stop equating Garland and Kavanaugh situations

    I don't think the Republicans in the Senate are fighting to stop this. Ford is the one who hasn't committed yet

    Yeah, one of her requests/conditions is that the other witnesses be called.

    This is a very simple question.

    Which has more probative value: a hearing with testimony from all potential witnesses, or one which features only the alleged victim and accused?

    I believe she requested than Kavanaugh go first... Which is extremely bizarre and makes no sense

    WaPo reporting Whelen had Dr Ford's name before it became public.

    I'd be just fine with that.

    Has she even named anyone else besides Judge?

    The media has been so shameful olof their coverage of this whole situation. I've never seen such rampant and wild speculation with no facts to back it up.

    I guess nothing new though

    Read the reporting before clutching your pearls.
    That was an euphemism

    Meanwhile, Keith Ellison decided to accuse his accuser of making it all up.

    I'm sure there will be a march soon for his calling a victim a liar.

    Right?

    My life has taught me allegations in this vein are damning .
    Be it guilty of the accused act or guilty of a lack of judgement of place and/or company.

    Has the media adequately shown how hypocritical the GOP has become?

    Have they adequately reported that Kavanaugh has already lied repeatedly under oath?

    If my twitter thread is any indication, they have tried only to be rebuked.
