Somebody with his experience in the white house, in politics and as a judge could have put himself in this corner. >> susan, you youve also say like jack just said, although you dont think that it was perjury, right, his explanations did defy common sense and should be disqualifying. >> yeah, i think thats right. the chart we just looked at is talking about him being evasive. it would be interesting to also see a chart on the questions he did answer. how many of those sort of seem to be false on...

Opinion piece you wrote, get your perspective as well. it is kind of a situation, damned if you do, damned if you dont. i see the political quandary youre in. alice, you said republicans have to stand together in a united front to defend kavanaugh since democrats already made up their mienl minds. republicans made up their minds before the hearing this week, but if something damning comes up, an eyewitness, how should republicans handle this? >> if something damning does come up, that would mean...

Comported himself and his demeanor, lack of dignity, speculative attacks on people, to me thats disqualifying. what you want in the supreme court, and weve had people who have been appointed as conservatives, moved to the left, we have people who have been appointed as liberals, moved to the right on some issues. the point is you want someone who is thoughtful with an open mind and open heart. you saw somebody who just in my opinion doesnt belong on the court. i dont care what whatever else happ...

I question any senator that thinks he has a weak stomach. thats not what ralphing means to any college kid. >> yes, it means youre just throwing up from drinking too much in general. >> exactly. >> there were a lot of things he explained in a way that didnt meet with peoples expectations. if he is lying about how much he liked drinking and whether or not he got drunk a lot, if he is not telling the truth about that, do you think that that is disqualifying for him in this nomination? >> absolutel...

You dont buy it? >> i dont buy it. i didnt -- thats not the brett i knew. as soon as i met him in college and not the brett i knew during four years in college. i dont think many of his answers are credible. i question a senator who thinks it had something tootoo with his weak stomach. thats not what raffling means to any kid. >> it usually means youre throwing up too much. let me ask you something. if he is lying about how much he liked drinking and whether or not he got drunk a lot. if he is n...

Brett kavanaugh engaged in this behavior, it would be disqualifying. essentially two things would be true. one, that he was dishonest. and its critically important that you have judges on the bench being honest. two, as a judge, your responsibility is to uphold the law. and what essentially would be true then was that he himself had violated it. so the trust that the public holdings in the supreme court is about the ability to trust that that very powerful body, that third branch of federal gove...

Chris dudley was the one that went in under the egging on of brett kavanaugh, and they thought it was funny. the girl was mortified and i was furious. im not sure hes the best character witness. >> now, look, not that this matters, its about the truth of what he says about himself, this is not a trial about guilt or innocence. its a job interview. its a credibility measurement for the highest integrity position we have. i dont believe its disqualifying to have partied in high school or college. ...

Theres been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything, to block my confirmation. >> what do you do with both people being as adamant as they are? we have to note, the frenzy that would exist on the left would also exist on the right, had it been the reverse. >> i actually think what you just showed is disqualifying. i think a judge, a sitting federal judge, a nominee for a lifetime appointment for a supreme court, has no business to say what he said about that committee, about acc...
