Page 2 - Kavanaugh Will News Today

Politically for both sides if they dont. >> well, absolutely. this puts a lot of pressure on more -- more pressure on senators collins and murkowski. theyre going to be confronted with the choice of having to vote yay or nay on a nominee with this allegation against them. they dont know if its true or not. in addition to that, judge kavanaugh will -- if hes confirmed will join the supreme court and it will be unknown whether he ever did this or not. its never been investigated. >> shepard: peril...

Chair senator grassley going to senator feinstein, the ranking democrat and back and forth and back and forth until all of them interrogate her. then they get to go a second time. then they would do the same thing with judge kavanaugh. then the committee rules provide each side if you will can provide one witness to corroborate the principle. dr. ford could introduce a witness. it could be her husband who was there when she allegedly remoted this repressed memory. it could be the therapist in wh...

Latest attack that really isnt a truth-based question, which it should be, it is a political question. so in terms of the mid terms, the american families and specifically the conservative and evangelical base should recognize that having a conservative majority on the supreme court is really what mid terms are all about. and should get out and vote. >> neil: christie, one of the ads i saw, i dont know the group, portrayed this and the latest layer of this as republicans are tone deaf when it co...

Investigation and interrogate the people that are involved in this. dr. ford, her husband, her therapist, anybody else that has knowledge about this judge kavanaugh the person in the room. >> neil: that could take a while. >> i think they could do it in a couple of weeks. the advantage of that is you prior statement from the witness so you would know what the witness is likely to say when they testify. i dont think judge kavanaugh has the slightest idea nor do we what dr. ford would say if she w...

Neil. if this is a draw at the end of the day? who wins? there is no rules here. is the burden of proving this on dr. ford or is the burden of disproving this on judge kavanaugh? will the very allegation itsself proven or not be enough to dislodge republican votes or will we all say at 5:00 on monday what is the general impression of who was the better witness? who presented the stronger case. there are no rules here. >> neil: she never shows up and lets say democrats wait for an investigation. ...

When we come to it i cant make her come. if she doesnt want to come. we decided today to give ms. ford the option if she wants to do it. if she is worried now about a public hearing, we are willing to do a private hearing we will do it anyway she wants to do it. we just want to get the facts and let her being be able to tell us her side of the story and then we will hear from the accused and do our jobs as united states senators. >> neil: very good. sir, thank you very much. very interesting rea...

Character. this is about judge kavanaughs. he is not asking to stay a federal judge. is he asking for enormous promotion. >> neil: i know he said, she said thing. is he asking to respond to something that never ever happened. im wondering, shelby, how that plays out of these expensive pricy ads notwithstanding? >> i think we will see, if the hearing happens on monday, i think we will see on monday. way too early to say republicans are tone deaf or democrats are playing politics. i think once thi...

Ramifications. number one, what kind of impact will it have on the upcoming elections and number two what kind of impact could it have on the supreme court. democrats for now are calling for the fbi to investigate. they want to delay the hearing. republicans are accusing democrats of delaying there is a big reason why. if the mid terms come around if democrats win control of the house and possibly even the senate, this could be a very different supreme court. >> neil: this is where the ad comes ...

The panel. and thats something that seems problematic for the democratic committee members, too i expect the men in this country and the men in this committee and many of them, believe me because we all signed on to this letter to demand an fbi investigation but really, guess who is perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? its the men in this country. i just want to say to the men of this country just shut up and step up. >> so still no firm commitment from dr. ford or her attorney to be here...

The confidential session with the judge is closed. the confirmation hearings are closed all this came upon us after the time for written questions had been closed, so, to say this is 11th hour is not -- is not pejorative. its factual. thats what happened. >> neil: the fbi investigation to which you alluded closed, did any of it involve these charges? >> it was a normal, i say normal. it was a normal is thorough fbi investigation. and there have been six of them. its not an investigation. thats t...
