A preview of the coming battle for the Supreme Court…an excerpt from my new book "Speaking for Myself," about the Kavanaugh confirmation fight: “From day one, Democrats and the liberal mob were hell-bent on defeating Kavanaugh’s nomination at all costs...(1/9)

To prepare for the Senate confirmation hearings…I played the role of Senator Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and along with others fired tough questions at Kavanaugh…(2/9)

We knew there was no subject matter too degrading or too humiliating for the Democrats to ask him about. Here was someone who had been praised as a man of high integrity and character, and here we were interrogating him about the most intimate details of his personal life...(3/9)

We had to do it. It was the only way to get him prepared for the hearings. To throw him off and make him angry, I interrupted his response about the impact of these accusations on his family and said, “With all due respect, Judge, you think you’re the victim here?...(4/9)

An innocent woman said you sexually assaulted her. Explain to me why you’re the victim?” Kavanaugh got angry, teared up, and said, “You ask my daughters about that.” 
I flew back on Air Force One to Washington, watching Dr. Ford testify before the Senate with the president (5/9)

...and then joined the president on Marine One to fly to the White House. Kavanaugh categorically denied the allegations and in a powerful moment, he shared that his young daughter suggested their family pray for Dr. Ford...(6/9)

“That’s a lot of wisdom from a ten-year-old,” Kavanaugh said, on the verge of tears...After Kavanaugh’s opening statement I called the president and said, “Kavanaugh just saved himself...”(7/9)

“Did you cry?” the president asked. 
“Yes.”
“I knew it,” the president said. “You’re softer than people think.” He laughed.
“Did you cry?” I asked him.
“You know I’m not a crier,” he said. “But I’m not going to answer that...”(8/9)

On October 6, 2018, the Senate voted 50–48 to confirm Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court…In the battle for the Supreme Court, the liberal mob had been defeated. We had prevailed.”(9/9)
