Incredible to think Hatch, Leahy and Grassley were on the Senate for the Bork hearings...and that was 30 years ago

Eh? She asked fair questions in a reasonable manner and was awarded with snarky inappropriate questions and filerbustering as a response.
Yeah that was my point. Everyone else couldn't look any worse but her. She came off quite well.

It's crazy that this guy Lee can say that if the other senators were interested in the truth, they should ask questions instead of grandstanding...while he's grandstanding instead of asking questions.

Republicans busy attacking how these allegations came out than asking about the allegations

No but hearing him say it would give more pressure to the president to do it. Him not asking for it is quite interesting
Looks very bad but the Washington Post commentators on this stream did give a reason for why he would be totally innocent, and have no skeletons to worry about, but still reject it. Ultimately his only way of getting confirmed is by getting all the republicans on board. Essentially undermining their authority and getting the president to do what the republicans have fiercely fought against won't do him any favours with either side. More likely is he's got some skeletons that would catch him out in a lie.

The Republican senators haven't even bothered asking him details about the alleged assault. I am going to bed.

Are the Republicans going to bother asking him a question or continue with their bullshit narrative?!
