The extraordinary hearing in which Christine Blasey Ford accused Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexual assault was both predictable and unpredictable. Grassley didn’t mention that Ford told the four people about her allegations before Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court. Republicans' decision to hand their questions over to a female prosecutor seemed questionablePhoenix prosecutor Rachel Mitchell questions Christine Blasey Ford during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. A committee hearing? None did that more passionately than Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), who made clear last week that he was going to vote for Kavanaugh.
