Rachel Mitchell emerges as top GOP choice to question Kavanaugh accuser before committee
The Washington Post ^ | September 25, 2018 | Staff

Posted on 09/25/2018 6:05:23 PM PDT by Trump20162020

All 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are men. That left the GOP with only men questioning Christine Blasey Ford about her allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh when they were teenagers. Mitchell, the sex crimes bureau chief for the Maricopa County Attorney’s office in Phoenix, is the likely candidate, according to two people familiar with the decision.

Kavanaugh has denied the allegation. He and Ford are scheduled to testify on Thursday before the committee.

Republicans declined to disclose Mitchell’s name. A committee spokesman declined to comment Tuesday night. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday, “We have hired a female assistant to go on staff and to ask these questions in a respectful and professional way.”

I wonder if the Arizona connection will help to pull in Flake.

I thought Collins and Murkowski were on this committee, as well. No?

Questions from GOP should be allowed from males, too. Since when is sexism allowed (oh yeah, since Sandra Day O’Connor voted to make the SCOTUS allow Affirmative Action to get revenge against men in her early career days). Now men are 2nd rate or no rate at all. Women first. Believe only women.

And questioners should be judged on the content of their character rather than their testosterone versus estrogen ratio.
Didn’t ML King say that once? Maybe not.

“She’s not going to show up.”

indeed. if she does, either she has to commit obvious perjury or admit facts that pretty prove her story doesn’t hold water ... either way, she’ll become not only a target of the right, but the left will attack her in full howl mode as well ... if she stays away, the whole thing simply dies with a whimper and she can go back to relative obscurity ...

“She’s not going to show up”.

I agree. She’ll say that the letter to Feinstein was confidential and she never meant this to happen.

Then the death threats to her start.

Gee I have a notion, perhaps men should be given as much weight as women in the courts.

...

Wasn’t the letter actually sent to a member of the House and then forwarded to Feinstein?
