If he gets too uncomfortable he has no problem of throwing kavanaugh under the bus. you can judge that based by what he said before. also i thought it very interesting that mitch mcconnell took a while to come out and say anything on this. later on in the day he attacked dianne feinstein for how she ran the process. but no strong defense of judge kavanaugh. >> no. in fact, for a white house thats reaction is always to come without a flame thrower when theres news thats not good for them, you had...

Victim who is in front of you testifying, can she receive a fair hearing? is this process in anyway fair to her? its going to expose her to a lot of scrutiny to frankly i dont know if she has the ability to stand up to. is this process in anyway going to clarify or is it simply going to make a bad situation worse? >> thats exactly what i think will make monday a very fraught hearing. it would not be that difficult for investigators, particularly in the age of social media to find high school cla...

Nomination. this is about whether we as a country have gotten to the point where we listen to women who raise accusations of sexual assault. i do think we should take president trump at his word and ensure that everyone is heard and that theres a full process. that requires the fbi to do some background investigation here so that its not simply a he said/she said testimony in front of us. we need fuller development of the facts. >> it seems like full development of the facts will be difficult to...

Mcconnell and trump not rushing to kavanaughs defense here. >> well, you know, you guys are very -- they tried to move this process all day forward within 24 hours, you know, grassley tried to have a conversation. he wanted to have a conversation on the telephone with kavanaugh and kavanaughs accuser and with dianne feinstein and the democrats just said no were going to have an investigative process. but what the democrats wanted and if you really wanted to know what happened here and try to fig...

Sooner. but with all of that being said, i want to go through the process. one thing ill say is that, as i under it, judge kavanaugh spent quite a bit of time with senator dianne feinstein and it wasnt even brought up at that meeting and she had this information. so would you have thought certainly that she would have brought it up at the meeting, not wait until everything is finished and then start the process all over again. with all of it being said we want to go through a full process. i hav...

Spent quite a bit of time with senator feinstein and it wasnt brought up at that meeting and she had this information. so you would have thought certainly she would have brought it up at the meeting, not wait until everything is finished and have to start a.process all over again. but with all of it being said, we want to go through a full process. i have great confidence in the u.s. senate and their procedures and what theyre doing and i think thats probably what theyre going to do. theyll go t...

Judge kavanaugh if he were to dropout isnt going an easier confirmation. the process is not going to have more integrity after this. they are all in the same boat. what is happening right now is, again, we shouldnt pre-judge any of these accusations, but the accusations alone do not suffice to scuttle this nominee. theres not enough substance there yet to determine this nominee should dropout of the process and if these acquiesce to whats a public call for someone to concede to vague accusations...

>> i take these allegations very seriously. im glad were going give them an open hearing. my reasons for voting against judge kavanaugh are deeply rooted in my grave concerns about his extreme views on presidential power. thats the main thing i focused on in questioning him. hes also got ways in which he has spoken and written and decided on issues about individual liberty and our understanding of the constitution in the modern era that i think are also outside the mainstream. so i thought it wa...

Document dump, if thats what it was, as inappropriate? >> well, i dont know if its inappropriate. i think that calling out about the documents is kind of a smoke screen. they have 300 opinions to refer. to i understand their complaint. theyre in the minority. and if you want to pick judges, you got to win elections. what i really want to see is more and more of these protests during the hearing. i want to see more of that. i want them to wear their pink hats. i want them to embarrass themselves....

I want to see more and more of these protests during the hearing. i want to see more of that and wear pink hats and -- >> do you think it has -- >> the opposite effect. normal americans see that as ridiculous. just chicanery and trying to manipulate the process. most of the people i know, i live in fly over country find it hilarious. they dont support it at all and want them to do more of it. i think it will help us in the mid-terms. >> congressman? >> i saw several democratic senators auditioni...
