Only members of the committee — no lawyers — can question her;
Soooo, she won’t have a lawyer present either???
Hard to believe there isn’t a lawyer on the committee...
Or, maybe they are all lawyers and that way...no questions...

No practicing female defence attorneys. A person like that will do a very different job than someone who’s spent more time in congress than courtrooms, especially since re-election and image wouldn’t be their highest priority.
And a female doing the questioning wouldn’t play as well on CNN as an “old white male harassing and bullying a sexual assault victim”. And this is about getting footage for CNN, not discovering facts.
There are a few female liberal lawyers (not left or progressive or members of Warren’s tribe, but traditional “liberal”) who don’t agree with Kavanaugh’s positions but think the correct thing to do is respect our elections and proceed with confirmation, and that DiFi and the accuser are making a mockery of the senate and our legal system. If republicans could get one of those women, CNN wouldn’t even be able to attack her past or motivations like they would with a conservative woman. Dems are not taking any chances, and want to ensure this can not happen before agreeing to show up - they wouldn’t get ANYTHING useful for CNN so better to let CNN make stuff up.
They know the Repub’s on the committee would bring in a female attorney that could grill her unlike the old white men there...
Isn’t Ted Cruz on this committee?
