But the third thing is something ive written about, which is his assets. i literally when i heard judge kavanaugh, i thought that i was -- i thought i was just listening to him on the radio, and i thought he sounded like a talk show host. it was so inappropriate for a judge. and i think that that raises questions about whether not just the actual partiality, which we care about, but issues like the appearance of partiality. whats it going to be like when democrats, clinton or any other people he...

The actual partiality, which we care about, but issues like the appearance of partiality. whats it going to be like when democrats, clinton or any other people he attacked appear before him. its not just the acts and the misrepresentation, but also his affect and what he said. ive never heard a judge speak like that before. >> and joyce, theres some questions as well about the comprehensiveness of the fbi investigation right now. theres this letter from dr. christine blasey fords lawyers to the ...

She is somehow part of this conspiracy again makes me question what kind of impartiality he would show on the u.s. supreme court. >> we hardly need somebody on the supreme court who has the conspiracy theory notions. >> juan: now democrats are ripping brett kavanaugh and now some house lawmakers are taking a step even farther. they are threatening to keep fighting against him if they win control of congress and the midterms. >> if he is not telling the truth to congress or to the fbi, then hes n...

Lingering questions about the impartiality of him given the political attack, the nature of the harsh attack on senate democrats and some of that undoubtedly will reflect on the court as well. but these things tend to change over time. in terms of the acceptance by other justices of brett kavanaugh, remember, they know him. hes been a court -- appeals court judge just down the street from here for 12 years. theyve reviewed his decisions. they know him. theyve read his writings. so, you know, hes...

Hang over him if he is confirmed, just as in a similar way its hung over clarence thomas. and i think there could be some lingering questions about the impartiality of him given the political attack, the nature of the harsh attack on senate democrats and some of that undoubtedly will reflect on the court as well. but these things tend to change over time. in terms of the acceptance by other justices of brett kavanaugh, remember, they know him. hes been a court -- appeals court judge just down th...

Kavanaugh is playing a political card. we know by the sheer nature of the president nominating the supreme court justice, how fair is the criticism that he is very, very very right? >> you have to watch his testimony in front of the u.s. senate to know that he is very partisan, but its beyond that. he believes in experience theories. that is a problem. when you see dr. fords testimony, its very clear she is not part of some vast left wing conspiracy. she was assaulted by brett kavanaugh. she tol...

From news reports, how credible is this investigation? furthermore, lets go back to why this all happened. this happened because a woman who wanted to remain anonymous got outed and then she came to washington to have the onslaught of questions and daggars sent her way and all she came with was the truth. she has taken a lie detector test. has judge kavanaugh agreed to submit to one? no. he has a judicial temperament that is very volatile. thats not something we want on the supreme court. he als...

Go back to the list and pick someone who is going to have the right judicial temperament and will have a level of impartiality so we can move forward. >> if its your view that there might be senators who are willing to overlook this bias. do you need a drink of water? are you okay? >> i do. >> i will make it a long question so you can drink. if senators are willing to overlook the bias or even this temperament, do you believe some of same senators are willing to overlook an fbi probe or the find...

Keep his cool together. the way his partisan leanings, and the way he attacked democrats should completely disqualify him on that merit alone from being confirmed to the supreme court, but this is a very important thing to figure out exactly what happened, to try to collect as much information as we can. id like to see the fbi -- >> the point you made about his potential impartiality, thats a discuss i will have with someone else until a bit. but back to you. will there be democrats who say, oka...

Credible enough by a sizable portion of the nation that he has to maintain the rule of law. any 5-4 decision which he is in the majority of would be tainted. we cant have people questioning the rule of law. it gets back to integrity and impartiality. thats a big problem. furthermore, we have also bungled the way we have handled these accusations as a party. i had friends call me in tears thursday night because they were sexual assault survivors and were reliving all of the pain because of the he...
