Okay, ready? Here we go.
1. Dr.
Blasey Ford came across as consistent, courteous and extremely credible
when answering questions and recounting the alleged event. I know
people who, like Dr. Blasey Ford, have two Master's degrees and a PhD.
Guess what? The majority of them are pretentious snobs, and I had no problem telling
them that. However, this woman appeared to be the complete opposite.
She came across as kind, real and someone with whom you'd be happy to have tea.
2. The exchange between Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senator Amy Klobuchar was a pivotal moment during the proceedings. It strongly illustrated the key reason why the hearing was being conducted in the first place: many men attempt to control a narrative or situation through positions of power, the use of physical force or issuing directives. What Senator Grassley said to his female colleague was beyond inappropriate, and I hope people call him out for what he did.
3. Senators Kamala Harris and Corey Booker are, in my view, true leaders and representatives of the Black community. Their statements, as well as their willingness to publicly call out fellow politicians for not holding the FBI accountable for failing to investigate the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, was confirmation that America still has elected officials that put the country and its people first.
4. There are still caring and good people in the legal profession. Dr. Blasey Ford's lawyers are representing her on a pro bono basis.
5. If Robert Mueller isn't chosen, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford should be named TIME Magazine's "Person of the Year".
