        Especially when she started questioning Kavanaugh but then randomly stopped. I think she was in the middle of a line of questioning too.

        Because her questions were very direct, clear and effective, and so he ran a real risk of perjury.

        Because the whole thing is a sham. They've already voted in private, this is to appease the masses. And it won't work.

        This article attempts to explain why, and I think it rings true: Short version: Instead of raking Dr. Ford over the coals, Rachel Mitchell found her believable, so GOP Senators, not getting what they wanted, cut Mitchell out.https://twitter.com/r_wolfcastle/status/1045643999690850304 …

        Because the R senators are scared. They don’t know how to question a woman respectfully, but they can fistbump the perp dude and scream at their colleagues and it’s all good!
