Several people familiar w call this AM said hearing will occur 10am Thursday. It will be PUBLIC. GOP may still decide to use outside counsel - and will decide whether to call outside witnesses. So far GOP has said NO to outside witnesses and kept open counsel asking questions

Some details on hearing: Ford’s team prefers Kavanaugh testify first but agreed she will go first. There can be breaks at 45-minute intervals, and she will have dedicated security and two lawyers at the table with her. Length of senator/outside counsel questioning uncertain

This entire judiciary and process is a sham. At current state it’s just a place for GOP to look like they have real jobs, when it’s really just a platform and soapbox for gender and racial discrimination, at the hands of our octogenarian, authoritarian and fascist GOP.

Sen
@LindseyGrahamSC do you really want to confirm someone to a hallowed place who has this hanging over their head? Doing so will destroy lives of many more women/men who won’t come forward to report molestation crimes because they will know that#SCOTUS will not believe them -
Graham and the rest of the old goats don’t give a damn about women’s rights. Getting Kavanaugh appointed makes that perfectly clear.

If there are witnesses why can’t they be allowed to speak? What’s the problem. Cover Up?!?!

Mark Judge has testified in the court of public opinion. I think he should have to testify under oath

Given that Dems will likely control at least 1 of the 2 bodies of Congress after Nov elections, & the fact that they've already promised to get to the bottom of this once they're in charge, one would think the GOP would want to do this right while they're still calling the shots.

They don’t care about doing anything right anymore! They are in trump’s pockets!!!! They will lie, steal, cheat, ruin people’s lives anything to win!! They learned from trump well!!!!! Pathetic how many do it in the name of Christianity!!!!

Stacking the deck. Nothing surprises anymore. Hope to live long enough to know why R's are acting like blackmail victims for a dangerous Putin puppet. This is beyond no spine or the base! They're cutting their throats. Why?

Agreed. It’s like they are going full throttle down a pier with no intention of hitting the brakes. Several of us would like off the bus, thank you very much. At least open the damn door.
