    David Lat Retweeted Adam Liptak

    1. Judge Kavanaugh was magnificent; if nothing big happens tomorrow, he will soon be on #SCOTUS. 2. The best questioner on doctrine was @ChrisCoons (executive power). 3. The best questioner on personal stuff was @KamalaHarris (mystery Kasowitz convo).https://twitter.com/adamliptak/status/1037523139725537280 …

    After more than 12 hours, the first day of questioning in the Kavanaugh hearings is over.

        Why was her questioning on the “personal stuff” effective? Sure it got press and notice but it was terrible, demagogic, innuendo filled and insinuating on no evident basis. It’s bizarre that she didn’t name a name but kept muttering insinuating asides. It was mala fide. 1/2

        I don't support it as a normative matter. I was merely observing, as you also acknowledge, that it got press and social-media attention (which was @KamalaHarris's main goal).

        Ok. But my own sense is that the clearly violative nature of those questions should be noted as prominently as noting their notoriety.

        I guess “magnificent” is the new “disingenuous.”

        He lies and non-answers his way through testimony, being completely disingenuous, and you label that as "magnificent"? Wtf, man?

        Is “magnificent” an objective assessment? Certainly confirmation is not in doubt, but my sense is that if Leahy has the withheld documents then BK is caught lying. Now that may not matter to his supporters but that’s a litigator perspective.

        He stands accused of previously lying to the senate and having conversations about the president with his law firm. The first offense alone should disqualify him. The second could get him charged by mueller.

        A court wouldn’t allow it and would at a minimum admonish Harris about such weasily, patently unfair manner of questioning. 2/2

        Point 1: Sen Harris revealed him to be a liar but I guess in the lawyer-world that's a positive?
