Just saw Jeff Flake (the real one): I thought his response was very noncommittal. "No resolving doubt"? I thought Ted Cruz had just laid that to rest. Flake is an attorney?

Here is your chance to swear to God and country. And, Kavanaugh did. I wished he simply did answer with the emphatic no, no, and no, and be done with it, instead of what appeared to be scripted.

Is there a video of Ted Cruz from today?
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Agreed. I've been a very frequent and vocal critic of Lindsey Graham, but that was spectacular. I got a little choked up watching it.
Ted Cruz:
It's nice to have Graham on our side...It's going to come down to Flake, Murkowski and Collins.

Sorry! You are talking to a life long, devout, talented and enthusiastic procrastinator.
I think that is all that is keeping me alive these days.
You will want to watch for my new book, available on Amazon.com, “The Power of Patient Procrastination” as soon as I get around to working on it.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I don’t think this went the way the dems planned. When Kavanaugh came out swinging, it opened the gate for the republicans to get off their butts.

What a day! It was pretty riveting and I watched way more than I planned on. History in the making and I hope it has a favorable outcome!

I practically watched the whole thing, and I'm glad I did. Kavanaugh’s opening statement was one for the ages.
Didn't accomplish a darn thing at work today.

Brian Fallon, a 2016 campaign adviser to Hillary Clinton :
“Saving the Supreme Court from Trump’s clutches has always involved a very complicated two-step: first, block Kavanaugh, then fight like hell to win back the Senate,”
“If Kavanaugh drops out, we’re halfway there. If Democrats are able to win back the Senate, we’d have a path to blocking Trump from picking any of the archconservatives on his shortlist.”

Grassley had said the plan was that Rachel Mitchell would ask all the REP questions for both Ford and Kavanaugh.
I wonder if Kavanaugh's fiery, take it t'em, attitude caused Graham to call an "audible" and the rest of the REPs followed suit.
