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. 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. 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. 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. He said that if her attorneys had withheld
those letters from Ford 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. 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.


You sound like a lawyer. Are you s lawyer? Of course not. You're
just a common liar and deadbeat. However, we apreciate your
comments for the comic relief they provide and as a reminder of
the sickness that has fallen upon the democratic party. Carry on
dummy.


The fact that you are like Trump, someone who doesn't know much about
government, and is proud of it, is demonstrated with your every
political post. Your good buddy Luddite says you are a smart fella, but
I think you are no more than a fart smella. I cannot recall a single
post of yours on any subject that indicated you actually knew anything
of significance. I will admit, though, that you are very good at
displaying your ignorance. Hopefully, you are not the example of the
sort of non-intellect who signs up for the military. If you are, we are,
if there is ever a serious war from a serious enemy, doomed.
