Just curious . . . in the pictures we keep seeing of Dr Ford testifying, is that Kavanaugh's wife sitting behind her on the left or just a woman that looks a lot like her? I know it's his wife behind him, and they look very similar but surely it's not her behind Ford is it?

Kavanaugh speaking of his mother who was first a teacher but then went back to law school and became a prosecutor when he was 10 years old. "My introduction to law came at our dinner table when she practiced her closing arguments. Her trademark line was: âUse your common sense. What rings true? What rings false?â â
That just struck me as particularly interesting because based on this, what rang true to me was Dr Ford's testimony. What rang false to me was Kavanaugh's histrionics.

Just stopping to wave hello this morning. Going to DD's church as both DGKs will be singing with their children's groups. That will be a much better focus than all the stuff going on in Washington. Yesterday my dad was alert when I was there, and we were able to have a good talk. He is so thin and weak, it's sad to see as he's always been a big, strong man. He told me he is ready to go, and that he hopes it will be soon. He believes now that my mom will be ok, and he said he just feels so tired and so sick that he just wants it to end. I hope God will grant his wish and not leave him to suffer much longer, but I am very grateful for the time we've had him and for the talk he and I had together yesterday. That was a precious gift, and I am grateful for it.

This whole thing is just exasperating. It will be impossible (if he gets in) to think of the SCOTUS as unbiased after that partisan rant. BK's well rehearsed remarks and Graham's feigned outrage are just the latest performances in this interminable Shakespearean play.

Joyce, it seems your Dad is at peace & knows you will be there for your Mom. So, happy you got to have this chat with him. I hope it give you peace of mind as well. Just tough tho watching a parent pass even tho you know they are suffering & are ready. My thoughts are with you.
HO HO HO its snowing quite heavily here. SIGH! I know it won't last & we will have a few more days here & there of some decent Fall weather, but its such a reminder of whats to come. The older I get the more I really dislike snow. Used to love it for many years.
Such a divided nation we have. Listening to Tom Cotton this morning showed why we have so much divide. Gosh is he an ick!
So JA is asking FBI to limit its scope & telling them how to do their job. Ya, sure this will be a fair investigation then...So, I understand that the public will never get to see the reports? Just the committee members? So once again we will just get a different perspective from each member depending on whether they are Republicans or Democrats. AND right back to square one.

Linda, snow is hard for me to imagine right now. We're 80s and sunny, which the sun is nice to see after all the rain we've had. Evidently this was out before Dr Ford testified and Kavanauagh had his melt down, but I just saw it and thought it was pretty funny.

So, Ford & Kavanaugh will not be interviewed by the FBI. The WH & GOP are determining the scope of the interviews & the WH will decide if Kavanaugh is fit to serve on the SC. Wow!...Such a fair & impartial investigation...LOL

Typical Party of Trump politics. There is no such thing as the Republican Party anymore. They really should just go ahead and officially change their name to Trump Party (or better yet, JA Party). They started dumping their party when the Tea Party first came along, and then just completely threw it in the trash bin when they put this JA in charge. I can just imagine them now all dancing around in white sheets and jackboots shouting Seig Heil as whatever was left that was decent and reasonable in their party burns to ashes all around them. They're probably also burning Ronald Reagan in effigy as they shout and drink more Kool-Aid.
