What is the purpose of having Dr. Ford testify in front of Congress on Monday?
To get her story out and show how Kavanaugh has no business being in the highest court of the land.
LOL now the democrats are backtracking,… Too funny
For her story to be on the record and for the senators to hear her story first hand instead of reading media spun snippets, and determine the credibility of her statements.
Gee, I wonder.
What was the purpose of having Anita Hill testify when Clarence Thomas was undergoing hearings?
If someone makes an accusation against a nominee, it is important that he or she appear publicly and present the information publicly, so that everyone has a chance to evaluate that person's credibility and the credibility of the accusation itself. The accused should also have the opportunity to present a rebuttal and be judged on his or her credibility.
This is how our courts operate, and there's no good reason why the process surrounding a nomination to the highest court in the land should NOT operate that way as well.
I know. I mean, the 3rd hand story should be enough to ruin both hers and Kavanaugh's lives, right?
The purpose of having her testify is so that her story is on the record and the Senators asking questions can guage her credibility and ask follow up questions… And of course campaign if the hearing is public!
The purpose of having her testify on Monday is to ensure that she is unprepared and to limit the chance that anyone else with a similar story is inspired to speak up or anything else negative to him is uncovered before the Republicans can get him confirmed.
The Court's Fall Term starts on October 1
It is critically important to the goals of the Reich that Kavanaugh is confirmed and seated by then
An FBI investigation of Dr. Ford's allegations would delay and possibly derail the Reich's goal of redefining America
The American justice system allows you to face your accuser, and Kavanaugh is ready.
The woman is accusing him of a violent felony, and he wants to defend himself against this sleazy slander.
- Shouldn't congress pass the eye for an eye Christine Ford law where Ford has to follow Sharia law if she can't provide 4 male witnesses? Paying by 100 lashes for not knowing the date of the assault, not knowing any of the details of her claims, and not having ANY witnesses that unknown night because nothing happened.
- Looks like Christine Ford isn't interested in showing up to the hearing on Monday. Kavanaugh will be. Gee, I wonder why that may be? Anyone who shows up and testifies will be doing so under oath. If Ford and Kavanaugh give two conflicting stories, then one of them has to be lying, and doing so under penalty of perjury. Perhaps the one who does not WANT to show up and testify under oath is the one who would be lying. Wouldn't make much sense for it to happen the other way around, now would it?
- Kavanaugh has a legal background AND is being prepared by top notch lawyers for Monday's interview. Ford has no chance against? Them even if she tells the truth. Is she right to insist on an FBI investigation to support her claims? The SC can do with only 8 justices for a while.
- Is it true that Ford lied to the judiciary committee about not testifying Monday due to a fear of flying? Cause it sounds like she is a regular world traveler. If you lie about one thing, then why should we believe anything else you say.
