Not an AIBU, but I thought people might be interested to watch. Dr Ford's composure is impressive.

Thanks for the link. Interesting viewing. They seem to be quite gentle with her which I’m glad for. She must be terrified.

I wonder how much money this is costing her in lawyer fees?

Poor woman.

is it really a surprise that a self confessed sexual assaulter of women supports such a scumbag

such brazen shithousery

She is entirely credible, and very brave to be pursuing her civic duty in this way.

It’s making me tearful listening to Mr Blumenthal saying how she has taught America a lesson and inspired people.

And Trump was such a sneery shitbag about her.

Surely Kavanaugh can’t get the position now?

I agree - she is so plausible - really don't think Kavanaugh can be appointed

Thousands of people apparently staging a protest in her support outside the senate.

When will we know the outcome? She was admirable, such poise, a great thing to do

She rocks. Especially when she made herself a coffee live on air. She seems very genuine.

Not sure how long it will take for any outcome.

What are they actually doing? Obviously hearing her testimony and then his later. Is this to help them decide whether or not to appoint? Or to help them decide something else? Is it the senate who decide whether to appoint or not? Or a more select, smaller group?

Love the fact some senator (?) said he things that trumps failure to order an fbi investigation is a cover up.

And does anyone know how long they will quiz her for? Is there an eta for his testimony? I have to go to the gym!

I believe they will ignore the testimony and appoint him anyway. White men sticking together 😞

I wonder how much money this is costing her in lawyer fees?

Nico - Very strong chances she will have been indemnified by the Democrats for her legal fees.

I have a horrible feeling they all know she isn't lying (because really who would make this up knowing what lay ahead) and will confirm him anyway. Because they don't care, and powerful men look after themselves. I am so angry on behalf of women everywhere right now.

So, I am being optimistic and thinking that they won't appoint him - really hope I don't get proved wrong

I think they will balance appointing him against the political backlash. I fear it won't be about what's right and wrong. Are they bringing criminal charges against him?

The think is there's only 10 democrats and 11 republicans, so even if all democrats say they won't appoint, unless a republican also doesn't a point him then surely he gets in?

So lets see if the republicans have any morals.

Is anyone watching Kavanaugh?

I am...bloody hell

Compelling viewing! I feel sorry for his wife - wonder what she is thinking.

she must know exactly what he's like

What a shrill and hysterical contrast to the testimony of Dr. Ford.

totally agree oddboots
