Watch live as Christine Blasey Ford testifies at the Brett Kavanaugh hearing

John Cornyn looks absolutely devastated.

Too bad he’s crying at Kavanaugh’s testimony, not Ford’s.

While all sides seem to agree this is true, it certainly doesn’t do anything to undercut Dr. Ford’s testimony. Judge’s behavior would be consistent with a man filled with shame and regret over years of bad decisions made under the influence.

I wonder what the drinking age was in CT when he was a freshman at Yale.

This guy’s body language says so much. “Can you descibe what too much beer is?” “hehehe snicker no”

WTF!

He’s confirmed half of the situation at this point…he clearly drank beer and seems to have been a lot!!

I’m his age. I did not drink beer in high school. And no, I was not alone.

I’ve never blacked out - I just lost consciousness to sleep.

There’s no statute of limitations on rape in Maryland. There could easily be a criminal investigation at the state level.

I am a hair younger…beyond my dad giving me a sip or two between the ages of 5 and 21…me either. And I never even saw beer at parties when we were teens.

But apparently Brett Kavanaugh lived in the same world as Varsity Blues!

Can she ask these question like she hasn’t asked them a hundred times with him before??? Variations in tone, riffs, something…

I drank a lot of beer in high school. Drank even more in college. That he never ended up, after drinking, without misplacing an article of clothing (even a cap) is so inconceivable that if he was listening to the questions, really hearing them, he’d have answered it honestly … and clarified that maybe he lost a ballcap once or twice. He’s lying through his teeth and trying to implicate all beer-drinking males as his defense … Let’s see what Kamala has in store for him.

Brett - all you had to do to avoid this was say - I ask that the FBI investigate these allegations.

Look, everyone knows it’s perfectly normal for high school kids to drink beer.

Unless they’re girls of course. Then it’s proof that the person in question is unreliable at best and a falsely accusing skank at worst.

Right. And that very defense is a back step. The I only went to choir practice and the malt shop story didn’t fly. Because everyone listening has been a teenager.

So now he drank beers. And only beers. Occasionally too many. But never enough to pass out, black out, vomit, or otherwise act like a drunk person. And only after he turned 18.

President Trump is “riveted” and telling people, “This is why I nominated him,” in a positive way, per person close to him. Talking to lots of people inside WH about how he likes how Kavanaugh is fighting back. Admires the defiance.

Of course he does.

His problem is that he let too much light shine through into that alternate reality where the truth lives, where he did drink to excess, and where he was a violent and personality-transformed drunk. His yearbook, and the company he kept, not to mention his calendar, are all dead give-aways before you even get to the character witnesses.

he was evasive of Feinsteins questions - talking over her.

Now he is avoiding the direct questions from the next senator.

Yeah his mode of speech was so different during that part, it was like listening to a different Brett. I can imagine the 8 sitting Supreme Court justices watching that and calling senators with their own no votes.
