so we’re left w/two emphatic, 100%-certain witnesses
one – Ford – wants FBI to investigate
the other – Kavanaugh – does not, as he made clear over and over
Nor does he want the self-described high school drunk she says was his accomplice questioned by anyone but GOP staff

On Fox News, Bret Baier says hearing from Blasey Ford "is a totally different thing" than reading her allegations.

I'm stuck on Kavanaugh saying the allegations against him are an "orchestrated political hit" fueled by anger at Trump's election in 2016 and people trying to get revenge for the Clintons
Three weeks ago at an earlier hearing, Kavanaugh said of judges: "We stay out of politics"

Ford was polite, deferential and accommodating. Kavanaugh is loud, angry and aggressive. Tells you a lot about what we expect from women and what we allow on the part of men.

Dr. Blasey Ford's worst fear, as she said, is that she would come forward, upend her life, irrevocably change it, and be annihilated. For nothing.

This will not end if Kavanaugh confirmed. The new congress will call and compel testimony from other witnesses. A Dem Congress could well vote to impeach. Bar complaints will be lodged vs. him. The next D president will expand the court. Kavanaugh willing to burn it all down.

It was a moment of singular cruelty and disrespect. One saw a flash in the exchange with Klobuchar the same sense of entitlement, cruelty and lack of simple decency that Blasey Ford recalled — two teens laughing at her plight https://t.co/5yNwwCU5wt

I’m beginning to think Kavanaugh is worried about a potential FBI investigation

The July 1 entry in Kavanaugh's journal described an evening drinking with the two people Blasey Ford says were at the party. The GOP's hired lawyer skirted up to it–and then backed off. And that's the ballgame. Sharp @pbump analysis: https://t.co/D5ktUouLNo

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh decided that to have any chance to reach the court, he would have to shed the pretense he was a fair-minded, calm, judicious thinker. He came out in the afternoon filled with venom, screaming at the committee. https://t.co/5yNwwCU5wt

Kavanaugh didn't even come close to meeting this burden. His confirmation at this point would an enduring catastrophe to the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. If he cared about the institution, he would withdraw. https://t.co/gAYPY4LjAk

Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2018
So Kavanaugh didn’t even watch Ford’s testimony. Strange that he wouldn’t want to know what he’s up against. He didn’t care what she had to say

Also a fascinating distinction between the yelling Republican senators (and tearful, angry Judge Kavanagh) and how women are expected to behave in the same positions.

Hatch just called Ford an “attractive witness.” Asked to elaborate what he meant, he said “she’s pleasing.”

Lindsey Graham just falsely told a bunch of reporters that Democrats are never subjected to accusations of sexual misconduct, and warned them that if Kavanaugh fails, Republicans will gin up false accusations against future Democratic nominees to even the score. Wow.
