    Obviously an exaggeration, given that Ford doesn't have >5000 documented public lies. Plus other evidence exists, just not definitive. You want to take a polygraph to support your claim? Maybe you'll fare better than the mythbusters episode, lol.

    His some of the most powerful rebuttal of ridiculas interrogation I have ever seen. He put Leahy in his place and totally embarrassed Whitehouse.

    Nobody buys this FBI nonsense, they have the accused sitting in front of them so INVESTIGATE ask him questions, get to the bottom of it. They have had their investigative staffs working on this for weeks, the don't need the FBI.

    This is worse than Gorsuch by a million miles. This is insulting the rule of law, the judicial system, it's demeaning a human being. It's all of the above. The Dems should've just stuck to their political opposition and might've won enough votes that way.

    Polygraphs are not evidence.

    Why do you doubt they would be doing the same to Barrett. It doesn't matter who the nominee is they will attempt to totally ruin their lives in order to get back political power.

    Dr. Ford has a TON more street cred than angry, evasive right-winger and accused violent sexual predator Kavanaugh...

    No evidence exists. It's not circumstantial or even physical. It's her flipping words. Have we all forgotten how our law system works? We don't convict on accusations, or the US prison population problem would be even more out of control.

    On a scale of 1 to 100 how defensive is the good judge? 100. I wonder why?

    And we're supposed to trust the Dems with determining the fitness of SCOTUS nominee?

    If they didn't get the documents they felt they were entitled to, I'm all for it..

    BTW, how did those Gorsuch hearings go?? Pretty good as I understand it (comparatively)

    I believe the Senate properly gave advice and consent, by not consenting. It just chose not to do so in a vote, but that's an old battle to revisit.

    I don't recall an all out attempt to ruin the mans life which uncorroborated vile claims of gang rapes and sexual assaults. Can you remind me of them?

    Circumstances require him to show respect towards the POS Dem scumbags trying to destroy him.

    The Democrats had some semblence of sanity. They invoked the Mueller investigation, but that was pretty much it. But now, I don't think you can hold a vote due to how impartial the whole mess is.

    We can all thank Senator Feinstein.

    With Gorsuch there was still balance. When Kennedy retired the Democrats started losing their minds over who the next pick would be without knowing who it was. Did you not see the many threads here after Kennedy retired where some were thinking Trump forced Kennedy to step down in some bizarre conspiracy theory?

    You don't understand tests, and neither do courts. Few tests have a sensitivity and specificity in the high 90s, (like PCR on DNA), and it depends on how they're used. The way tests are used by doctors is that you apply a test to a situation with a reasonable pre-test probability, and given the sensitivity and specificity of the test you can get a more informed post-test probability. Even the critics of polygraphs say their "accuracy" (which I suppose would be an average between the positive and negative predictive values weighted by the frequency of each) is 70%, which is not a useless test.

    Welcome to American Politics. Where have you been? Oh and not bringing up Garland for a vote was the complete abdication of the constitutional duty of the Senate to Consent or not Consent by vote.

    Not voting means there was no decision to consent or not consent by the Voting Senators.

    They suck at their job, so it appears you believe. I wouldn't want them investigating me either.

    I saw one that day, and then I watched it die relatively quickly because it was BS.
