My overall impression of the Kavanaugh hearing was politicians on both sides making candidate speeches for re-election and attempting to?

Sound sympathetic and outraged for various reasons. It was phony, sounded like lectures, and fake concern for either Kavanaugh or Ford. Just speeches. What say you?

Welcome to politics.

I have gained immense respect for Lindsey Graham. He is a man of extraordinary character. His defense of Kavanaugh is echoed by the rest of America.

Both sides are pandering to their base.

Ford was believable, Kavanaugh was not. The rest was typical politics.

I agree entirely. If they want justice FILE A POLICE REPORT. While there's local politics, it is not nearly as much.

But we all know that politicians want a reason to ACT, and have no concern for justice. Democrats certainly do not want the presumption of innocence used for Kavanaugh.

Dr. Ford came across as believable and reluctant to be thrust into the circus. Judge Kavanaugh did not. I want to hear what the other witnesses have to say.

Kavanaugh supporters believe her because of her emotional testimony. However if you look at the facts an entirely different perspective emerges.
- She couldn't remember the date, or even the year, it occurred.
- She couldn't remember the house, or address where it occurred.
- She couldn't remember why she followed Kavanaugh up to the bedroom.
- She couldn't remember how she got home after the party.
- None of the four witnesses she named at that party could confirm her story.
- Her life-long friend, who was at the party, couldn't confirm Ford's account of events.
- She told no one about the event for decades.
- She has a record of being opposed to Trump's politics.

I imagine that something happened to Ford, but her politics over the decades seems to have clouded her memory of events.
