Well, they ended that unexpectedly and abruptly. My impression is they got a phone call from someone telling them to shut it down and regroup as it is not looking too good for the repubs.

are any cameras on Brett Kavanaugh while she's giving her testimony? I wonder what his face is showing while she's talking about these events he 'wasn't at' that 'didn't happen.'

Fluff: I so rarely watch TV news. On CNN, all four women on their panel are wearing form-fitting, one-color dresses with 3\4 sleeves and mostly-boat necklines. Is this a thing?

If she’s an academic/researcher in the field of psychology, I would be surprised if she didn’t use jargon to describe what she understands about trauma and memory, including her own. No reason to dumb down her insight and expertise. Personally, I think the combination of personal, plain spoken memories within the larger, more technical context of the psychological processes is very effective, even affecting. I agree. It conveys credibility, sort of like listening to an expert witness but at the same time not feeling "put off" - not feeling "alienated," I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Seeing it more often now. I used to wear these as a young woman (back in the Stone Age). In my day we used to call them sabrina collar.

CNN reporter just said that Hatch, when asked what he thought of Dr. Ford, said she was "attractive", and when asked to clarify said she was "pleasing". Wow. This, to me, is the heart of what is wrong. This comment is so completely abhorrent and out-of-place in this entire matter. Hatch is an idiot. Glad he's going, but it cannot be too soon.

Fluff: it seems to me the majority of anchors wear very form fitting clothes that middle age women don't consider to be their own work wear.

Grassley mentioned having to recess at 12:40 for a vote an hour or so into the hearing. The Senate calendar shows a vote scheduled then for Lisa Porter as Undersecretary of the Defense. Now whether they'll also use that time to regroup..... Using Mitchell was awkward at best, but as I'm sure their main objective was to protect their own skin in re-election - I doubt they'll alter course.

I feel so bad for her. You can hear the anguish in her voice. I'm having a hard time watching parts of the hearing without crying. Brings back horrid memories. That’s the word I was looking for earlier—you could hear her voice catch—like the pain was so deep.

Someone needs to ask her to clarify WHY SHE WANTED 2 FRONT DOORS ON HER NEW HOME.
Let her explain her fear and her need to be prepared 36 YEARS LATER.

So I feel a BIT better about that comment. I believe I heard/read he's in another room watching on tv, but there's no camera on him in there that I know of. thanks for clarifying this. I didn't realize that him not being there was one of her conditions, but it makes sense to me-- I wouldn't want my assaulter to be there, either.

That was one of her conditions I'm glad to see they honored that. I can see where having him there would be very daunting for her.

In all fairness Mitchell is just asking the questions the Repubs conceived (because they know the “optics” will be bad if they do the questioning). So far, she’s been professional and not hostile at all. It’s helpful to have that kind of attitude in a sensitive and adversarial issue like this. I welled up big time when Ms. Mitchell introduced herself to Dr. Ford and said she could see how terrified she was and that it shouldn't be this way. Ugh. It really shouldn't be this way.

yes, investigation would have covered a lot. But I think Mitchell is doing ok, she protects victims in her job.. She is pushing for details, buy it shows that Dr Ford is consistent.... Kavanaugh better look out!! In all fairness Mitchell is just asking the questions the Repubs conceived (because they know the “optics” will be bad if they do the questioning). So far, she’s been professional and not hostile at all. It’s helpful to have that kind of attitude in a sensitive and adversarial issue like this. I would like to second that she has been professional and polite.

It was mentioned later - she was asked if it was because of claustrophobia and to have another means of escape and she said yes. She also commented that the front of her house isn't very attractive but she did get her second door.

(ALSO really annoying is how Dr. Ford said she's afraid of flying, and the expert listed alllll the places she's visited by plane... as if to make it seem like she's lying about being afraid to fly.) She also stated that she found flying less challenging when it involved vacations, or investigating what she enjoys. Enraging.

It's the same scene Brett Kavanaugh will be looking at next. Pretty sure that was the point. Um yeah it’s his ‘club’ not hers.
