Someone in brett kavanaugh who has lied under oath. hes misled the senate. i believe he did it in 2004, 2006, the beginning of september, and last week. and its one thing for a politician to lie. we clearly have someone in the white house who doesnt hesitate to lie. but its another thing to lie under oath. that oath is a vow. its actually sacred in our history. it means something. and you dont get a free bee online just because its about drinking or about sex. if youre under oath, you have an ob...

Disrespected the very principle of survivors of sexual assault, which they have a right to say when and who and how they tell their story to. and senator feinstein was holding that at the request of that witness. i think if justice were to prevail his nomination would be rejected, but well see if justice can prevail in the united states senate. >> lisa, i think there were varying degrees of contempt in his answers. some really minimum, but trace elements of it there, and that feeling i think pus...

If you dont have the law, argue the facts. and if you dont have the law or the facts, pound the table like hell. and i think the strategy we saw by republicans, from brett kavanaugh. i think in some ways what you saw from brett kavanaugh was predictable in a sense of his denial. but what you also saw was in some ways the mask of his judicial robes or his judicial robes slipping away and revealing him to be the political operative hes in fact always been and his judicial decisions in many ways re...
