      Flake says he received a death threat against him and his family as a result of calling for additional testimony from Kavanaugh and testimony from Ford. (He noted this after noting death threats faced by others in the process as well.)

      As much as I like to support obstructing Congress from doing things, the @SenJeffMerkley complaint is hot nonsense. The method by which the Senate exercises its constitutional advice and consent power is a classic non-justiciable political question. This is poseur stuff.

          Asked if the accusers are liars, Trump avoids at first, then says: "And these are all false to me, these are false accusations in certain cases, in certain cases — even the media agrees with that. I can only say that, what they have done to this man is incredible."

          Trump: "I've had numerous accusations about me. I mean they made false statements about me knowing they were false. I never met them. I never met these people. And what did they do, what did they do? They took money in order to say bad things."

          "Well, it does impact my opinion. You know why? Because I've had a lot of false charges made against me," Trump says. "So when you say, does it affect me in terms of my thinking with respect to Judge Kavanaugh. Absolutely, because I've had it many times."

          Trump acted like all of the Kavanaugh accusers would be able to testify before the Senate. Thus far, only Dr. Ford is slated to testify.
