I Think It Will Be A Rigged Hearing To Trash Ford & Give Kravenaughty Soft Ball Questions.

[TheMastersNemesis]

It is a sham and a charade. Predetermined outcome. Will try to prove she is a liar and he is a saint.

1. I hope our Senators bring their best.

This is a noble fight.

2. Well, duh! Yep that's what it will be. /Nt

3. Ya think? So do I. nt

4. We need creative thinkers, who can find ways around whatever barriers the GOP puts up

We will need a number of congressmen (and women especially!) who can skirt around whatever barriers they toss our way.

If they give us a time limit, then that entire time limit must be spent in reading the questions to be asked. Not in waiting for answers.

Whatever the barrier, we must adapt, like a virus. Small, yet powerful. We have the will of the majority behind us.

5. The time limit is 5 minutes per committee member.

One round only. Meaning the lawyer the R's have hired will get 55 minutes to grill Ford and 55 for lobbing softballs at Kavanaugh. Meantime, each of the D's get 5 minutes for Ford and 5 for K. This whole thing is rigged, and I hope it becomes abundantly clear to the nation that the R's are not interested in getting at the truth and that the whole thing is a sham. Fervently hope everyone recognizes that this is a Republican charade and the party is punished severely on 11/6.

8. The R's were too willing to let her speak.

I think they had a plan of attack from the beginning.

[LibDemAlways]

9. They had no choice but to let her speak. However,

they thnk they've come up with a way to game the questioning. Someone in another thread suggested that the Dems should all defer to Kamala Harris and let her have at it for 50 minutes each side. Have to fight fire with fire. Not what Dr. Ford wanted, but better than frustrating, rushed questions that allow no room for follow up.

6. of course it will be, except when the democrats have their allotted time

7. Every time a woman accuses a man of a sex crime...

She's attacked in the courtroom. I realize this isn't going to be a court, but it may as well be.
