Impugn and to discredit. >> this would not be a neutral -- >> this is not a neutral arbiter. so the democrats may be well advised to do that but on the other hand, theyve got people who are pretty experienced and theyve got women of their own who can ask questions. im not sure they need to duplicate that. also whats really striking is the disproportionate amount of power coming into this. here kavanaugh goes into the white house every day and he has hours and hours of prepared testimony. hes got...

Personally, why would you violate her request toe remain anonymous? >> its important to d understand to take a step back and understand why we are talking about her at all. we are trying to get a windoww in to who brett kavanaugh is as a person. his judicial views and sense of morality. a guy sitting on the highest court in land he is the arbiter of right and wrong for every man, woman and child in the country. so she has something to say about his sense of morals. just as the story we heard abo...

We as a society are struggling with balance. i would argue theres probably a cloud over clarence thomas, fair or unfair, because were not going to know what happened between him and anita hill. >> if the fbi comes back and says we cannot corroborate what professor ford says, democrats ask for it, they say they trust the fbi, thats that. for better or worse. at least you have independent arbiter. >> tell me how to solve the problem. we do through a monthlong proce process, the fbi says, we can fi...

Or unfair, because were not going to know what happened between him and anita hill. >> if the fbi comes back and says we cannot corroborate what professor ford says, democrats corroborate, trust the fbi. at least you have independent arbiter. >> tell me how to solve the problem. we do through a month long progress, we can find no evidence. a day after a new victim comes forward. do we take another month, another moment after that? at some point dont we have to have a collusion. >> maybe, maybe n...

>> no, i think the fbi investigation is a perfect thing to ask for and perfect thing to get. its not getting by anyone were almost 27 years from the anita hill hearings. were not in 1991 anymore. i know chuck grassley is sitting in the same place but a lot has changed. we can organize in ways my mother would have dreamed of when they were fighting that fight. its not the kind of thing, this is the one way to do it, we want her in front of the hearing my way or the highway. its not going to fly i...

Demeans it because its now v w view viewed, i think, by a majority of americans as a political animal. its not viewed as an impartial arbiter of different issues. sadly i dont think we will ever return to the 60-vote rule, and i think that was the one thing that no matter what the candidates background was, whether he or she is a liberal or conservative, it was at least someone you could have consensus on and someone you would think would at least approach their position as a fair and impartial ...

Relying on the bush administrations private lawyer to go through and be the arbiter of what was released and what wasnt released. chuck grassley, the chairman of the judiciary committee is going forward as of yesterday, is going forward with the committee vote on kavanaughs nomination this week. and at the moment has given no indication that there will be any pause to air this out or anything similar. >> last question to you, rebecca. scott is talking about the speed with which all of this has h...
