“I’ve long said that eliminating the legislative filibuster would be a mistake. It’s what’s prevented our country for decades from sliding toward liberalism. It’s inconvenient sometimes, but requiring compromise is in the interest of both parties in the long term.” Hatch in 2017: “without the filibuster this country would've been gone a long time ago.”

“You may not know this, but I was actually one of the original Federalists. Truth be told, I was a bit skeptical of the organization at first. A bunch of stuffy white guys getting together to talk about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Who has time for that?” #FedSoc2018 “..And the 1790s were a busy time for me. I had candles to make, wigs to powder, wooden hoops to roll with a stick.” OGH at #FedSoc2018

Valuable read from @profmjcleveland on the challenges Senators face as they evaluate Dr. Ford’s changing story.

(Thread)

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… The first challenge comes with Dr. Ford’s recollection of when the incident happened.

Her initial account to WaPo suggested it had happened in her “late teens.” But Kavanaugh was at Yale then. Her testimony then changed to 1982, contradicting text messages and therapist notes.

Recent polls suggest that some find Judge Kavanaugh to not be trustworthy. If you take a look at the media coverage from *just one night* you might see part of the reason why.

Hint: it has very little to do with Brett Kavanaugh’s trustworthiness.

In one night..

(Thread) The NY Times allowed an anti-Kavanaugh activist who spoke out against him in July ( ) to write a harrowing news article about Judge Kavanaugh being questioned after a bar fight 30 years ago in which someone was struck with ice.

The AP reports Julie Swetnick “has an extensive history of involvement in legal disputes, including a lawsuit in which an ex-employer accused her of falsifying her college and work history on her job application.”

Quite a read below—>

apnews.com/bccc4dd598df4e… Another suit also alleges Ms. Swetnick ‘made false and retaliatory allegations that other co-workers had engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her.’

While many on the left have been eager to ignore Rachel Mitchell’s conclusions, the facts she found and outlined in her report are indisputable, and highlight the challenge of an accusation with no corroborating evidence or witnesses.

(Thread)

washingtonpost.com/politics/in-me… Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened. The range of years she has offered has varied widely over the last few months.

Sen Feinstein did not leak the letter/ the existence of the letter to the intercept— staff for other Democrats on the committee did. These excerpts make that clear

They cared more about stopping Kavanaugh than protecting Dr. Ford’s request for privacy

theintercept.com/2018/09/12/bre… Senator Feinstein suggested that Dr Ford’s friends must have leaked it the letter.

But Dr. Ford testified that she did not authorize the release of her letter or provide it to anyone outside of Congresswoman Eshoo, Sen Feinstein, and her attorneys.

Who Republicans are? Reminder: It was Senate Democrats who:

☑️ Disregarded accusations for *6 weeks* only to weaponize them at a politically opportune moment
☑️ Ignored Dr. Ford's request for privacy by leaking her name and letter to media

#THREAD

We know the chain of custody for Dr. Ford's letter

The first report that a letter existed surfaced because staffers for Judiciary Committee Democrats complained to media that Senator Feinstein was hiding a letter relevant to the Kavanaugh confirmation.

NEW: Senator Hatch on the State of Play for Judge Kavanaugh's Confirmation-->

Two nights ago Dr Ford’s legal team sent a long list of demands to Chairman Grassley’s team as conditions under which Dr. Ford is willing to testify.

A few points on that discussion as we wait to hear whether Dr Ford will be willing to testify (thread)

judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele… (Prefaced with the fact that Dr. Ford told her story to the Washington Post on Sunday, and her lawyers went a media blitz on Monday declaring repeatedly that she was ready she willing to testify and “do whatever it takes.”)

Some are hung up on the issue of wanting an FBI investigation before proceeding to Monday's hearing for Judge Kavanaugh.

But here are some helpful facts.

(thread) The bottom line, first and foremost: there is a process to vet, investigate, and evaluate claims like these in an apolitical way, outside of the public eye

Democrats circumvented that process, risking damage to Dr. Ford, Judge Kavanaugh, and public trust
