From What I Am seeing, this is Michael Avenati.

TJ. There is no end to this. Kavanaugh (potentially, that's the most messed up part about this) represents the 5th and deciding vote to overturn Roe V. Wade. The left was never going to just sit by and let that happen. They don't have the votes, so we are essentially being treated to the Heckler's veto. They are just going to keep inundating the process with sleeze until either the nomination is withdrawn or they win back the senate.

I have to tip my hat to Schumer and the Democrats. The minute that they got Chuck Grassley and the senate judiciary committee to BEG Christine Ford to testify with NO SUPPORTING EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER they won. Lindsey Graham put it simply and better than anyone to this point. Based on the initial information that was presented you couldn't issue a warrant, and no judge would take a civil complaint. There was nothing! The idea that they let the democrats have this long to scour the earth and find anyone who ever heard some rumor about a party back in the late 80's is a complete castration of the confirmation process. This is a circus.... It's a national disgrace.

In reality, there should be a rule. Republican, democrat, Independent, socialist, egalitarian, moon beam whatever... Any person that alleges criminal activity against someone sitting for confirmation better darn well have evidence. Otherwise, there are roughly 300 million people in this country. There is no shortage of cooks that will put on a show to get thrown out of a committee hearing, make up stories, shout down opponents and the rest of it. The idea that this was allowed to happen is ridiculous.

Moreover, whoever decided that Kavanaugh was a more logical choice than Barrett to sit for confirmation and potentially be the swing vote in the Roe decision should be fired. Tonight. If you can't see this tactic coming from ten miles away then you have no business in presidential politics.
