one thing Mitchell running out of time before getting to anything of substance demonstrates is how the "5 minutes per senator" format is completely anathema to getting to the truth

I know the sexual assault stuff is important in this hearing today, but I really want to see the Senators hammering him about his blatantly obvious drinking problems.
We haven't heard a single word about whether he still drinks, nor whether or not he's sought treatment for it (which IMO would be a plus!).

Seems that way. Dr. Ford's Q&A period won't be over before noon at this pace.

I don't know how they can vote on him tomorrow at this rate.

BTW, The special questioner, Rachel Mitchell, is doing a great job.
However, It's quite telling that the 11 Republican Senators on the panel are too chickenshit to ask the questions themselves.
Quote by Scoopster:
Why in the world is Mitchell asking about her hobbies & vacations & whether she flies? That has absolutely no relevance to ANYTHING.
Edit: Is she trying to create doubt about Dr. Ford's fear of confined spaces?

People have a fear of flying for many reasons. For me it is more due to not having my feet on the ground and being high up.

Heh.. I get queasy just looking down or jumping off a cliff in a video game!
WATCH: Rachel Mitchell, prosecutor who questioned Dr. Ford, ends her questioning by commenting on the 5-min. staccato format that was provided for questioning Dr. Ford. pic.twitter.com/Fii7mYqguS

Okay, he's done. He's not even pretending to hide his blatant conservative bias anymore.
NO ONE on the Judiciary Committee can claim he's an independent jurist after this.

Isn't the woman on the left his wife?
