    I'm trying and failing to understand how this showy, indignant, borderline-petulant performance could evoke sympathy. Might be some kind of unexamined bias on my part. Will have to ponder.

        Again, maybe it's my bias showing, but I can imagine a far more dignified, composed approach he could've taken. Either way, I acknowledge that sincere people see this very differently and I want to think harder about why.

        He believes he is being falsely accused of heinous crimes. I might be showy, indignant, and borderline-petulant as well. If he is truly a victim of incorrect accusations, then this criticism is victim-blaming.

        Call me crazy, but an aspiring Supreme Court justice should be expected to comport himself in a certain dignified manner, even under difficult circumstances.

        Suppose, just hypothetically, that he really is innocent, and consider his 'performance' in that context. If you can't do that then, you likely would have made an excellent executioner for comrade Stalin.

        J'accuse not appropriate in a democratic republic. This whole thing totally mismanaged. Feel like public being subject to watching the torment of 2 ppl & wishing Congress had a soul.

        I thought both evoked sympathy. It helps if you let go of the notion that this circus is in any way about Ford or Cavanaugh. This is pure political theater.

        That is the real truth. Tearing 2 ppl apart live on tv. I do notice Feinstein seems a little unnerved. I blame this circus on her & sitting on all this so she could have this drama

        I believe both. I think Ford went thru some trauma but may have a false memory. I believe him. But it should have be handled this way. Feinstein sh have turned this over to committee weeks ago. Two ppl who's lives now changed 4 the worse bc politicians play games

        He was seething 😤. Looked like he was about to explode. Almost shouted at Feinstein; he certainly raised his voice, interrupted her and was dismissive. Didn’t really answer her question. Sadly she backed down and didn’t insist he answer.

        I saw that differently. A bit of guilt on Feinstein's part for sitting on this for weeks,not telling committee,not pushing for an investigation,then leaking Ford's name to the press.

        it's not unexamined--he's a Bushite. You hate Bushites and I understand that bias. I actually would much rather someone else have been nominated. But the way I look at this is on a human level. Dr. Ford is a human being. Kav. is a human being. This process is inhumane

        The process is pure political theater not meant to get to the bottom of anything. Two people being raped in public IMO. I don't know that this encourages women to come forward at all. May hurt MeToo

        Sadly, my timeline tells me that If you are a Democrat, you believe her. If a Republican, you believe him. This is how juries work to often too - identity or background determines guilt or innocence. It is all so depressing.
