    GOP is going to hire a token female for their Kavanaugh questioning because they don't actually have one themselves.https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1042892737291448321 …

    emptywheel added,

    Frank Thorp VVerified account @frankthorp
    Sources tell @kasie and me that Republicans on the Judiciary Cmte are planning to hire an outside counsel to handle questioning of Judge Kavanaugh & Dr. Ford. Female litigators are being considered, which could help the optics of 11 men making up the GOP side of the cmte.

        At first it seems like a cheap trick but I can imagine every network newscast including the detail that Republicans don’t have a single woman on the committee and have never had one in 200 years so they had to outsource it. It could backfire.

        That will work. Nothing like Senators ducking their constitutional responsibilities for readily apparent cheap optics. Just how stupid can the body politic be?

        So there's time for a group of old white guys to hire a lawyer to do the hatchet work but no time to investigate. @senjudiciary is a disgrace.

        Someone needs to inform the GOP that *planning to hire* and actually finding someone competent who's willing to commit careericide are two different things. Having said that, I do hope it's Old Man Grassley who does the hiring!

        Why don't they get one of their colleagues like Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski to come in & do the questioning? Oh yeah, those two wouldn't be within miles of that hearing!
