If Kavanaugh testifies first how will Committee members know what to ask him if they haven't heard the details of Ford's allegations?

I swear liberalism is a mental disorder.
Don't expect an honest answer from liberals. They will just saying something stupid like this isn't a court case therefore hamstringing the accused is okay.
They don't want him to tell her story, they want to hear his.
For 1000s of years the procedure has been that the accuser presents their case the the defendant has the opportunity to respond. Just as in baseball the batter is not required to swing until after the pictch has been thrown.
They can call him back. This isn't a trial doofus. He is not under any threat of sentencing. There's no standard of proof. There are no standards of evidence. There's no right to legal representation. It is an inquiry into the character and qualifications of someone proposed for a powerful position. A job interview.
The prosecution ( those making the allegation) always present their case first. Then the defendant refutes those allegations.
What you are asking is that we turn ordinary due process upside down and that Kavanaugh be required to prove his innocence before hearing the case against him.
It's bizarre
The Democrat demand is preposterous (as usual).
He actually already did in a closed door thing. It was pretty brief.
They have made up their minds and don't need to listen to evidence.
- Ford said under oath that she didn't know the Senate Judiciary Committee offered to interview her in California. Her attorney wrote? To the committee before her testimony: "Dr. Ford has asked me to let you know that she appreciates the various options you have suggested". Who is lying Ford or her attorney or both?
- Everybody likes pointing to the polygraph by Dr. Ford, but why haven't they told us what was on it or who administered it? You guys are aware that there are people who will skew a polygraph a certain way to get the results they want. Aren't you?
