What Happened In The Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

Whitehouse is the latest Democrat to hammer the fact that Judge won’t testify. I don’t know if he even asked a question there.

Mitchell has shown some inconsistencies in what Ford has said, but they feel minor so far. I think Michell is going to pursue further this drive after the alleged assault and ask how how there is not a witness to that. The Washington Post published a story that implied Ford’s parents are estranged from her and fairly conservative ideologically. So that might be relevant to this.

Sen. Whitehouse, a Democrat, is saying basically that Ford is an ideal witness. He’s putting it on these terms because the Republicans on the committee are trying to make the hearing — prosecutor and all — more like a trial than a Senate hearing (which typically has a different flavor, shall we say.)
