He's great at impressions and voices, wish he had the opportunity to do more of that on his show!

I just can't fathom the inappropriate reactions from Lindsey Graham and Orrin Hatch in particular - did they watch the same unhinged angry diatribes from Kavanaugh that the rest of us did??

American Bar association calls on judiciary committee to halt decision until FBI reviews.

I am so fugging angry right now.

Lindsey and Orrin.

Given the travesty of justice that happened with Anita Hill, it totally boggles the mind that these lawmakers who have to remember what happened back then are allowing it to happen again!

I can't imagine that they're still willing to go ahead with this ridiculous nomination after all they've heard and seen - especially since at least half of their constituents are women! They need to be repealed and replaced!

Vote scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow.

Will they ignore the testimony and the Bar Association as well?

Beer. Beer. He likes beer. Question was, how many beers is to many Mr Kavanaugh? Um, well what ever the chart says.

As for the beer?? That has to be a bright red flag that this guy has a problem. I kept watching his wife's expressions - if he's still an angry drunk, she would know.

She sure had a weird expression staring at his back that could be read two ways. She believes him...or knows him and fears him. An angry volatile man as he proved today and a drunk to boot? She needs to make a choice. She has to little girls.

Getting late, later.

Or what kind of Dad? How will he feel when his own kids reach their teenage years? Or is he in complete denial or was he in a blackout the entire time??

Have a good night!

It's so ridiculously unbelievable - I can't believe it's still going on! It's probably the lowest point, so far, just when you thought they couldn't sink lower!

There's been no other news at all today - so everyone's addressing it.

to Kavanaugh’s belligerent, bullying, badgering and filibustering one.

And with that, I’m off to bed. Hoping for peaceful dreams.

I couldn't believe it kept going on - and on - and getting demonstrably worse!

And you get some good rest - it continues tomorrow.
