Questioning Kavanaugh

The Repugs "hired" a female "assistant" who is a lawyer that prosecutes sex cases to question Dr. Ford. Perhaps Mr Avenatti should do the questioning of Kavanaugh-that would be fair, right?

Turns out Maricopa county has a pretty bad record of ignoring sexual assaults.

Now if only they would use him for this . Why not do this? HE's really good at what he does , and is very smart , and very aggressive, and won't back down, and is much more adept at getting people to expose themselves. He also has skin in this game now having someone also who knows about kavanaugh and his past, so this should be done. He's going to get to him anyway with possible criminal filings , so let him take his shot at him now, and save us all the time and get this over with, which it will be after he gets done with him. kavanaugh will be done and his chance will be gone very soon. I can't believe Senators in Congress would vote onto the highest court in this country a possible participant of gang rapes, and from sexually assaulting young girls after giving them drugs or getting them drunk , and the were underage, and committing crimes, serious crimes against women , and yet trump and the kgop still want him voted onto the bench for life. I can't believe enough Senators would do that . Those that do will pay dearly no matter where they go they'll have to face the wrath of the American people for what they've done , or tried to do to us.

We have talented, former prosecutors on the Judiciary Committee -- like Kamala Harris.

The Republicans are bringing in a "female assistant" because they don't like the optics of the big, bad, old white men ganging up on the woman. We need to show that Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are competent, prepared and capable.
