The thing I keep coming back to is that, for a white man so assured of his innocence and desperate to clear his name, Kavanaugh seems incongruously resistant to the witnesses, testimony, and investigation necessary to actually do so.
I can't stop thinking about this moment with @DickDurbin, when Kavanaugh refused to say under oath -- was desperate to AVOID saying, seemingly -- that he wanted the FBI to investigate the charges against him. splinternews.com/dick-durbin-fi…
Additionally, Kavanaugh's apparent ardent desire to prevent the other guy in the room -- Mark Judge -- from making statements under oath felt... extremely off, to say the least.
I get that none of this matters in a court of law. But this isn't a court. Senators are weighing the credibility of two humans as one of them seeks a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.
And I just cannot see how Kavanaugh's testimony was more credible than Dr. Ford's. She was specific and assiduous about what she did and didn't remember about the assault. He went on about high school achievements and calendars and beer.
...not to mention the many things he very obviously lied about. cnn.it/2NNmsxW
