1) In all seriousness, let me say this. I feel for Dr Ford, I have experienced sexual assault. But nothing today has been as triggering for me as the rage and entitlement in this man. I had an angry, alcoholic father. He had an inside face and an outside face.
2) He could make anyone believe he was a lovely, sweet, gentle man. If he'd been a Federal Judge, I am sure the ABA would have said nice things about him too. He did not rage every day, or about everything. But when he did rage it was terrifying.
3) And generally what would send him into a rage was the same thing that sets off Judge Kavanaugh. Disrespect. Insubordination. Arrogance. Attitude. Entitlement. Disobedience. Our crimes were mostly thought crimes. What held them together...
4) was that he felt that his status and entitlement were being threatened or questioned. Watching Judge Kavanaugh today I feel six years old again. I feel like a little girl watching her father purse his lips, as Judge Kavanaugh does. watching his face redden...
5) as Judge Kavanaugh's does. I feel like a terrified little girl wondering whether and when I might be obliterated by my own father, taken apart. Killed. No, he never did any of those things. But when you are six and your father rages, it feels that way, believe me.
6) I can tell you from hard won, painful, traumatic life experience. This man is an inappropriate choice for the Supreme Court. He is inappropriate for any court. My father did eventually get help and he changed.
7) The help he needed was for his addiction, yes, but it was for deeper, more pervasive problems too. Specifically what he needed help with was his sense of his own rank and entitlement. He needed to come to an understanding that he was just a man, and was not owed...
8) more than every one else around him. He did change and that's an incredibly powerful and amazing thing. Judge Kavanaugh needs help. It is not an attempt at slander to say I feel sorry for his daughters. It is an expression of genuine empathy and concern.
9) Please, Senate, if you confirm this man you will destroy this court for ever. The court can never recover from the degradation he will bring. His partisan leanings are wildly inappropriate. His temperament is poor. And the allegation casts enough of a shadow...
10) over his character that no decision from here forward can ever go unquestioned. Please, do the right thing. This performance is disqualifying. Please do not confirm this man.
