During Ford's testimony she said something that I thought was odd
but I wasn't smart enough to understand what it meant.

It was when Ford was being asked about her fear of flying and
she acknowledged it, blaming it on "claustrophobia" as a result
of her experience 36 years ago.Â* She then went on to acknowledge
however that she has regularly flown often in spite of this.

But that's not the odd part.

She was asked why she didn't accept Grassley's offer to conduct
the testimony in California.Â* He said the committee would fly to
her instead of her having to fly to WashDC. The offer was made
in consideration of her claimed fear of flying and the delay
it imposed on the whole process.

In her testimony Ford expressed surprise that Grassley had made that
offer. She said she was "unaware" of it and thanked Sen. Grassley.

That's strange.

A lawyer I heard last night addressed this.Â* He said that
Grassley had sent three letters to Ford's attorneys regarding
the offer to have the committee come to her rather than she
come to WashDC.Â*Â* He said that if her attorneys had withheld
those letters from FordÂ* they were in violation of some codes of
conduct governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could
be subject to being disbarred for unethical behavior.

Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a
known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist"
movement.

According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne Feinstein
after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her
claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh.

I am telling ya.Â* You just can't make this stuff up.


Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the
Senate Judiciary Committee works out for the best.

It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the
political screed he offered during it should be something that
completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any judgeship.
He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on the
Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't
supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's
really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire facias
or impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts.


The Senate Democrats ... and basically all the Democrats who have joined
in the campaign to destroy him, obstruct his confirmation and, as
Schumer said last July, "to use any means" to block him aren't supposed
to act that way either.Â* Kavanaugh's comments didn't emerge until the
Dems in their sleazy antics attempted to destroy him and his family, not
based on past judicial positions, but on his personal life based on some
very questionable claims by a women regarding events that occurred while
they were in high school.

Harry, your party is continuing a move away from all the traditional
values in this country.Â* They are being dumped for only two purposes.

Power and control.



U.S. Senators and Representatives are political, and therefore it is not
unusual for them to act political on whatever the issue at hand is.
Kavanaugh is a federal judge, auditioning for a promotion. He is not
supposed to be political during the audition or afterwards. He is
supposed to be apolitical. This is not to say a judge cannot have firm
beliefs, but he is supposed to leave those unspoken. He disqualified
himself with those partisan statements and with his utter refusal to
answer a number of questions.

Your boy Trump is the one destroying traditional values and institutions
in this country. You just chalk his insanities and inanities up to
"Trump being Trump."

The rest of your screed was nonsense, so I didn't bother to regurgitate it.
