Railroaded? Hardly. One of the longest and most contentious hearings in history.
Yet, even with the very lengthy hearing process, the hit job about Ford did not come up until after the hearing. Note, that Feinstein had the info since July 20 so it was not a matter of late breaking information. It was withheld as another "insurance policy" in case Kavanaugh did too well at the hearings- which he did.
That’s the spin but it doesn’t jibe with the facts.
Kavanaugh is not fit for the Supreme Court. It’s disgusting the people republicans have been rallying around.
