Brett Kavanaugh ROCKED the Senate judiciary committee with his opening statement. The Washington Examiner reports:
Brett Kavanaugh’s enemies are scolding him for being angry in his opening testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Angry and entitled seems like a less than ideal approach from Kavanaugh after what we all just saw
— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) September 27, 2018
Mainstream commentators are also tsk-tsking him for it. “Not the tone of a future Supreme Court Justice,” Michael Beschloss tweeted, then deleted the tweet.
And maybe, on the “optics,” the anger is not helpful. But on the score of justice, Kavanaugh’s anger is totally fitting.
But if half the political machinery of the federal government, the leaders of one party, and about half of the media came after you with a campaign of lies — which is what this is, if Kavanaugh isn’t guilty of rape and sexual assault — you would be angry.
This is a hearing to be remembered for the ages.
I wish he had found a way to destroy their sanctimonious demeanor without the angry lapse. I understand he has adequate motivation but still. In a way I think they broke him. For the sake of our country’s future I hope they will fail utterly; they are fighting a rear-guard action, success for them = delay, for however long they can manage.
Write to Sen Flake & tell him more time will just serve the Demon crats.
We Republicans have been looking for a long time for someone to fight back. The democrats have proven time after time that they are dirty pond scum when it comes to getting what they want. To them,as to Carl Marx, the end justifies the means and they certainly don’t mind getting down in the gutter the get what they want.What they want is a Supreme court that will help them change the Constitution to give them absolute power. Thank you Judge Kavanaugh and Senator Graham for fighting back.
I would be angry and upset too if I were falsely accused and subjected to this kind of inquisition!
As I watched this my impression was that Ford had rehearsed what she wanted to say and had tried to commit it to memory. Unfortunately she ended up once again contradicting herself. The only thing she could remember with 100% certainty was that it happened and the boy was Kavanaugh. She did not offer any proof whatsoever. We are expected to rely on her faulty memory and take her word for it. She has convinced herself of this and in her own mind believes that she is telling the truth. But I believe that her memory has played her false and she is wrong.
I believe she was drunk as a skunk and didn’t have a clue who did it and she didn’t report it at the time because she was afraid to tell her parents that she had been to a drunken party.
I agree with you
This is and was a complete disgrace for the United States of America. What a shameful game the democrats have played. This will forever hurt our nation and how we will be seen. Bret Kavanaugh has proved numerous times that he is an honorable man. And what the democrats have done to him will never be forgotten by the American people. Judge Kavanaugh, please know that our entire family is and will be praying for you and your family. God bless you sir and God bless America.
Same here
True! Amen .
The dems are scumbags along with being. Ommunists and yes, racist. Ford is a liar who obviously hates President Trump more than she respects the truth. Vote yes for Judge Kavanaugh. Vote yes to the Republican Party. I was a lifelong Democrat. Leave that Godless party that would enslave us.
I thought she was totally UNBELIEVABLE. Her fake wimpering throughout was a joke. No one talks like that for so long, particularly after 36 years. What a performance!
I agree, she could have won an academy award for her performance!
Couldn’t remember what she said in opening remarks, she had to refer to her notes, however clearly could remember things from 30+ years ago.. Fake..
you can bet all the parting Ford did was probably so messed up that she believes in her own mind that someone grouped her or she is looking for some fast cash. Seems to be the trend now with a lot of these left wing women going after men that have money or power a real disgrace to America and themselves.
I didn’t buy her little whimpering act either
j
So the demoncrats expect Kavanaugh to continue to take their ridiculous beating of lies and not be pissed!!!!
Perhaps the democrats will want to check Kavanaugh’s kindergarten and elementary school playground activities and conversations.
I would not put it past the scum bag left to look at what he did in the womb.
I found it very telling that Ford couldn’t testify to much but she could state that on a uncertain night in some strange house she only had one beer! Amazing selective memory in my opinion. Those who have gone through what she claims and states that she remembers the laughter over the terror of not being able to breath plus the fear of death, is lying!
At one point she said she had one beer and at another point she said she had four. I found it ironic that she stated that she stated that she had not told her parents because she was afraid they would be upset at a 15-year old being at a party with no adults present and having “a” beer? Seriously? If you have seen her Private School Year Books, you’d see how ludicrous that not only sounds but is. According to their year books, their entire four years consisted of partying and drinking; even invented a PASS OUT GAME, “who will pass out first.” Oh, and boys, and as they got older, they preferred the “fresh faced, innocent, unspoiled Freshmen.” Since the parents paid for the year books, I am sure that they were aware of what was in them. One of the books stated that they partied , partied, partied, for any and NO reason, just to be partying and drinking, and judging from the scenes, they were not just drinking beer. There were also allusions to “drugs” but the drinking was definitely prevalent.
Ford said that they stood over her laughing. What happened to Judge jumping on Brett to get him off of her and then they tangled, that’s how she got away. So which is it?
Something that is so traumatic according to her and she cannot remember where it happened. Where is the evidence? I’m in my 60’s and I remember getting bit in the face by a German Sheppard when I was 4 and I know the exact location where it happened. I don’t buy one ounce of her BS.
If someone accused me of something I didn’t do and it was going to ruin my life I’d be pissed ! So I completely understand.
The Democrats have spent the past 2 years, and especially the past 2 weeks, demonstrating clearly who they really are. There is no longer any doubt. Anyone who has been paying attention to their antics should be willing to crawl through broken glass to vote. These vile scumbags must go.
They must be destroyed. Demoncraps are pure evil.
I have been a Dem. for more than 55 years and I have alway weight the balance of the scale with a careful evaluation but today was a very very sad day as a Dem. I was so upset with all of my Dem. yes they do not have morals just Grandstanding a way to get votes for their next election I am almost attempted to change my filiation
Change it, I did and now I will sopport only the truth and the Democratic Party is filled with scumbags. And my entire family, we were all affiliated with that party.

If you are sincere, you would abandon the Democratic Party immediately!
I was a Democrat most of my life. I became a Republican when I realized that true morality leans to the Right. Morality does not include attacking someone on baseless and unsubstantiated claims. These hearings confirmed what I already knew. Winning at any cost is what was displayed by the Dems in their brutal attacks on Kavanaugh. They should be ashamed, and re-evaluate what being an American is all about. America should honor morality and fairness, above all else. Americans should share the same moral compass, including Democrats.
Judge Kavanaugh came out on top in this hearing. Professor Ford gave an emotional testimony but without solid proof no court in the land could find him guilty, AND neither can the Senate. But, and it is a big BUT, there is one senator who is a weak link in the vote tomorrow. SUSAN COLLINS, the senator from Maine cannot be depended upon to cast her vote for the judge. She has proven in the past to be weak on deciding votes and has voted WITH the democrats against the rest of the republicans. Guess we just have to wait. But I’ll bet the farm that Diane Fienstien contacts Collins tonight to get her to cross over
Dear Senator XXXXXXX
Dear Senator XXXXXXX
Dear Congressman XXXX
I have been watching the Democratic kabuki sleazy, disgusting treatment of Brett Kavanagh. Shame on each & every member of the democratic caucus. This last minute Hail Mary pass is nothing more than a democratic ploy by individuals that have an intense hatred of the president. I wonder how Ms. Brown is going to benefit from the hate campaign. What is she receiving for being the sacrificial lamb? She is a dyed in the wool democratic activist , along with that a trained psychologist that can manipulate a lie detector test & play the part well; except the letter she wrote sounded rather juvenile, (someone forgot to use word check). There are so many questions that no one is asking & should.
Have none of you any shame, morals or ethics, integrity? I think not! While you may consider yourselves righteous & above the law doing a good job it has been nothing more than an orchestrated character assassination against a decent human being and the president. No thought to the defendant’s (& this is exactly what Judge Kavanagh is) family, children who may be receiving threats. The attacks on the justice system is an abomination & you have opened a Pandora’s Box, that will eventually to haunt democrat politicians. Once the genie is out the bottle you can’t put him back in.
This is a judge that firmly believes in the constitution so the old BS that he would overturn Roe v Wade is nonsense. He believes in God, Country, constitution and family
Your hatred of the current president is palatable & this is just one more way to create chaos. In the 1 ½ years he has been the CIC he has done more than any President in 4 years. President Trump is not the cigar smoking, drinking, back slapping, double speak politician. POTUS is taking care of Americans, not some rag tag third rate banana republic. He is doing what past presidents couldn’t or wouldn’t do. Build that damn wall!
I have in the past voted for Democrats, some have been decent but no longer will even consider a democrat after this outrageous behavior. This last show of disrespect for the congress, the American citizen & the President is the end.
Remember, no credibility, ethics, morals, integrity equals an empty suit.
Elect== Brett Kavenaugh , Now !!! Put a stop to this sham , also VOTE Republican , Put a real Stop to there shenanigans !!!!!!
AGREED 100% !!! Disgusting & disgraceful what the liberals are doing to this man.
Elect== Brett Kavenaugh , Now !!! Put a stop to this sham , also VOTE Republican , Put a real Stop to there shenanigans !!!!!!
Yes the demonrats are despicable POS’s. This has all been a waste of time and money. This woman must lead a terrible existence to make up such crap and think she is going to get away with it! Maybe her home life is despicable and she is having a nervous break down.
I listened to Dr. Ford and Judge Kavenaugh. I believe the Judge more than I believe Dr. Ford. I have no doubt that Dr. Ford experienced some kind of sexual attack at some point in her life. But noone was able to corroborate her story. No one was able to come forth and give testimony that they saw Judge Kavenaugh attack Dr. Ford. Remember she was 15 and drinking and her experience would have confused anyone. Mistaken identity is a very real thing. The Judge’s emotional, sexual and social behavior throughout his life is consistent with his testimony. Ms. Feinstein couldn’t tell the truth if Truth and Justice bit her in her rump. She sounded like the liar she is. This is more than a “He Said, She Said” situation. Personally, I believe the Judge’s comments more. The saving grace for the afternoon’s testimony was Lindsey Graham. He told the truth, the whole truth so help him God.
I so totally believe Kavanaugh over Ford! She spent a lot of time grinning and smiling and laughing throughout her testimony! This was a serious matter and one in which she was attempting to destroy a man’s career, family and reputation! It was clear what the democrats agenda was-to prolong this until after the midterms or longer-they are so transparent! All Republicans need to get out and vote! We need to shut the dems down!
Becky,
Can I be your friend? You’re spot on and I wish I could hug you! Great post! Many women believe in Kavanaugh…#VOTERED
Warmly,
Dea
God Bless Kavanaugh !! Justice Will prevail and he will be on the Supreme Court !! If not the republicans are in a heap of shit !!
I am a woman.
This confirmation process has been a vile disgraceful scam by Democrats.
Confirm Kavanaugh!
Yes!! Confirm Kavanugh!
the democraps are all liars…….they are also all communists……. Period, thats it, damn democraps….
If the Opening statement of Judge Kavenaugh didn’t settle the issue even for the Trump Haters and all those with TDS,
Nothing ever will
The Democrats have to be the vilest demonic creatures creeping on the face of the earth. They have no shame, they don’t care who or how many they hurt. They only loyalty is to the party and gaining power for the party. Their loyalty to party comes before GOD, family or country. I spent the largest part of my life in a career where I came into contact with some of the vilest, most individual criminals you can imagine. Looking back on that over quarter century career I find many of those criminals deep down had more redeeming human qualities than Democrats. If a person has any love for this nation, for the things that make it great, and believe in doing the right thing how can you vote Democrat. Time to bring down this vile evil party.
Let me as a foreigner offer my opinion on what I have seen during this Judge Brett Kavanaugh hearing. The Democrats of the United States are in fact lower than shark shit resting on the bottom of the ocean. Senator Michael Blumenthal is in fact pure sleaze, a disgusting man of low moral character, in fact worse than the contemptible Senator Dick Durbin. As to your mainstream media represented by CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and lavatory paper Washington Post, it could be in some pathetic Third World country. Having long ago abandoned a moral compass, they are contemptible excuses for human beings.
Well said
Thank you.
This hearing is a bunch of BS from the terrible lying Dems. They are so conniving and despicable they don’t deserve to be in the Senate. This is just a dirty scam like the Dems always do when things can’t be controlled by them. The scumbags they had asking questions are a disgrace to the government and the United States. They will say and do anything to make Kavanaugh look bad and accuse him of anything to put him down and the Senators are the scumbags and should be dismissed. We don’t blame him for being hostile and probably wasn’t hostile enough! You could see the difference in questioning Ford vs Kavanaugh. What a scum bag hearing on the side of the Dems.
They have no morals of Ethics and are nothing more than gutter rats!!!!
All the democrats want is a delay, delay and delay until after the November election. I hope the republicans gain seats in the senate and hold the house. The democrats have to listen to Obama, Obama said elections have consequence and then he told the republicans get in the back of the bus. Trump won the election and said he won for everyone in America. But the democrats have done everything they can to hurt Trump which he is doing everything he can to help America and Americans. The democrats are doing everything they can do to hurt Americans
I think it has gotten easy over the past two years to know when a democrat is lying. Just look and when their lips start moving you know they are lying.
Although it’s good to have a break from the plethora of Russian collusion stories..
This is nothing more than a witch hunt created by the left.
Right now Republicans are frying Democrats over their sleazy plotting, but will it make any difference?
This is ANOTHER witch hunt by the demonrats!!! Just as we think they couldn’t stoop any lower, they come up with something like this witch hunt against Kavenaugh, which is because he’s a REPUBLICAN and TRUMP’S choice! They have NO ETHICS, NO MORALS, NO CLASS, NO JUSTICE, etc., They’re capable of ANYTHING to keep pocketing OUR TAXES!! They deserve to be called SWAMPERS, they keep reaching LOWER and LOWER and “muddier and muddier”! We wouldn’t have ANY poverty in this country, if the demonrats would STOP LINING their POCKETS with OUR MONEY!!
The Demonrats can say anything, no matter how anti-American. Bill Mahar:
He wants a recession, to oust Trump. Jim Carry said: They are Socialists.
Cuomo: America has never been great. They keep getting more desperate.

The Democrats just lost the November election. This was the last straw.
