The Cowardice Of Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans

The woman pictured here is Rachel Mitchell. She is an Arizona prosecutor, and the designated hit-person that Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans have imported to question (demonize?) Kavanaugh's first accuser (Dr. Christine Blasey Ford).

Most, if not all of those Republicans, have made it clear they do not believe Dr. Ford -- and they are determined to shove through Kavanaugh's confirmation. But none of them have the courage to do their own dirty work with cameras on them at the hearing on Thursday. These old white men are afraid if they do their own questioning, it will look like they are beating up on a woman (and terrified that will hurt their Republican cohorts in November).

Whether that is right or wrong, their action is a profile in cowardice. And that is not the full extent of their cowardice.

Why do they refuse to call any other witnesses? Dr. Ford has submitted to the committee the sworn affidavits of four witnesses who can verify her story.

Why won't they allow Deborah Ramirez to testify before the Judiciary Committee?

Why won't they allow Julie Swetnick to testify before the Judiciary Committee?

Why do they refuse to allow an FBI investigation of Dr. Ford's accusation (or those of Deborah Ramirez or Julies Swetnick)?

BECAUSE THEY ARE COWARDS -- and they are terrified that the accusations made by Ford, Ramirez, and Swetnick are TRUE!
