Testified himself and because of what dr. ford has alleged is now the subject of doubts and questions that have to be addressed to the satisfaction of the senate and the american people. if hes to get this lifetime appointment to the supreme court, i think that even though its -- its difficult for republicans to wait because they dont want to take the chance of this nomination being pushed beyond the midterm election -- eric: judy, hold that thought. we have to break because of the computer and ...

She is telling the truth or not -- and neither do you, none of us do. i think it is a dangerous standard to say the accused has the burden of proof to disprove their guilt. how could he do that to your satisfaction? >> shannon: let me read something to that point. ford is seeming to behave as she if she does not have to prove her case. it is fundamentally oppressive. she submitted her claim and then went into a defensive crouch when allies such as kirsten gillibrand saying how would that harm he...

To prove a non-falsifiable claim with no corroborating evidence from the time. anyone can throw in allegation. it is a serious allegation, i have no idea if she is telling the truth or not, none of us know. it is a dangerous standard to say the accused has the burden of proof to disprove their guilt because how could he do that to your satisfaction? shannon: let me read something, fords team has behaved as if she doesnt have to prove her case and the request she do so is fundamentally oppressive...

Can resource? >> thats a great question, chris, and i dont know because -- and some of the commentary hes made about the whole process makes me wonder whether he understands the fisa process and the inviolate nature of fisa court proceedings. and of course his ordering that there be further declassification of the fisa requests for authorization, i think, is a very, very dangerous precedent. but as weve seen, hes not much of one to worry about precedent. >> look, obviously he could have taken th...

What isnt in there and why. why doesnt he rely on what he can resource? >> thats a great question, chris, and i dont know because -- and some of the commentary hes made about the whole process makes me wonder whether he understands the fisa process and the inviolate nature of fisa court proceedings. and of course his ordering that there be further declassification of the fisa requests for authorization, i think, is a very, very dangerous precedent. but as weve seen, hes not much of one to worry ...

Arguments and theatrics and all the rest of it. but fighting to make sure the fbi doesnt look into this as part of his background check is a strange thing to fight for. orrin hatch was on the judiciary committee back at the time of the clarence thomas/anita hill controversy. he has gone so far as to say, quote, the fbi does not do investigations like this. that is exactly wrong. that is 100% completely wrong. i mean, here is senator hatch himself in 1991 in the clarence thomas/anita hill hearing...

This reflexive people line up on their sides, they believe who they want to believe. and i think its incumbent on the senate to say this is more than just picking teams for red rover. this is a lifetime appointment, an article iii appointment to the highest court in the land. and it has to be taken seriously as a fact finding enterprise and as a reason based enterprise. and for me whats terrifying about people lining up and saying "x" is a liar, "x" was just a kid, the process is broken because ...

And if we find out to our satisfaction, what do we do next? those should be the questions, not just lining up and pledging fealty based on who you know and who you went to school with. >> ana, what will you be listening to for on monday as you try to decide whos telling the truth here? >> like i said i think what im going to be listening for is whether or not kavanaugh seems to have grown as a person since whatever happened happened. you know, i come to this just just a survivor of sexual assaul...

Question questions. >> there are more questions that need to be asked and answered and i think it would be appropriate to allow for that time. >> the math here is critical. if those two republican senators were to vote know and all the democrats were to also stay in unison in opposition to this nomination, he would not get confirmed to that lifetime spot. so that means that kavanaugh, undoubtedly, would have to answer more question questions, privately, potentially publicly. whether they can sch...

Satisfaction in the belief that it was their investigation that made it happen. except it didnt quite work out that way. >> she said, "well, they didnt find her, did they?" i knew they wouldnt find her. >> was heather kamp, the con artist, at it again? where was kate waring?
