Righteous int righteous indignation is he s trying to divide us and them to say that christine blasey ford is something else than a real human being and he s the person who has standing. it is quite frankly often a very male approach to power, that righteous indignation. and the president has tried to use that to completely push us apart. we aren t apart. we all care about our sons, we all care about our daughters. but what is so critical and was in the time of anita hill and hasn t been heard this time either, i m sorry to say, is the pain, the suffering and the humiliation that christine blasey ford has had to live with all of her life. justice stevens made a distinction between clarence thomas and brett kavanaugh today. let s listen to that. there s nothing that clarence did in the hearings that ....
At the end of day in which hida height camp announced she was voting against brett kavanaugh for two reasons. first she believes christine blasey ford, and second she believes kavanaugh s tone and behavior in the hearing last week demonstrated he is not fit for the united states supreme court. we will have more about senator heitkamp s decision later in this hour. brett kavanaugh did not apologize for his conduct in the hearing room last week. instead he offered words of explanation without an apology. saying, i was very emotional last thursday, more so than i have ever been. i might have been too emotional at times. i know that my tone was sharp and i said a few things i should not have said. i hope everyone can understand i was there as a son, husband and dad. which leaves open the question, what are the things that you should not have said? one of the most alarming things that brett kavanaugh did say was actually in his written opening statement. ....
Kavanaugh s historyonics at the hearing. i was very troubled by the tone of the remarks. it went on and the interaction with the members was sharp and partisan, and that concerns me. and i tell myself you give a little leeway because of what he s been through, but on the other hand, we can t have this on the court. we simply can t. and tonight brett kavanaugh is promising that we won t have this on the court. writing in t the wall street journal, he is saying that the person we saw in the judiciary committee last week will not be the person we see on the court. brett kavanaugh wrote going forward you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person i have been for my entire 28-year legal career. hardworking, even keeled, open minded, independent and dedicated to the constitution and the public good. brett kavanaugh s piece arrived ....
