It's easy to demonize, diminish or dismiss the abstract. Looking someone in the eye and hearing what they have to say forces us to connect as humans. Brave women told their stories to Sen. Flake - and he listened. This is why speaking up matters in the push for justice.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

A man who uses the same hostile and aggressive tactics as Donald Trump when faced with credible allegations of sexual assault does not deserve a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court.

[Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy]

To all the women who have shared stories of their own over the last few days: Thank you for your brave voices. You are heard and you are believed. #BelieveWomen

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

We need to protect Mueller’s investigation now, not when a constitutional crisis comes.

Wake up, my Republican colleagues. Stand up to this President. Defend our democracy and the rule of law. Do your duty.

[David Fahrenthold @Fahrenthold]

NEW: A federal judge in DC has ruled that 200 Dem members of Congress have standing to sue @realDonaldTrump for allegedly violating the "Emoluments Clause" of the Constitution, b/c he's still doing business w/ foreign govts. Story coming...

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

With only 1 week the FBI will need a lot of agents. They should investigate the Ford allegation, other DC area allegations, the Ramirez allegation and anything else at Yale College, the law clerk hiring practices talked about at Yale Law, and perhaps more.

I hope @BetoORourke wins just so that I NEVER have to listen to @tedcruz’s sanctimonious sermonizing ever again. That’s my prayer, and amen.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

The yearbook entries — 4 or 5 of them — are low hanging fruit. Just talk to the other Renate alumni and ask 15 members of the class what Devil’s Triangle boofing etc. mean.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Hard to see how Kavanaugh could be fair-minded in any case involving Democratic or liberal plaintiffs after this speech.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

A basic unfairness in how this hearing has been handled. The prosecutor sought to find holes in Ford's testimony, but not Kavanaugh's.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

I questioned Judge Kavanaugh, repeatedly, on whether he would ask for an impartial FBI investigation into the allegations against him. He declined.

Repeatedly.

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

Lindsey’s staff should think about unlocking the case where they keep the emergency tranquilizer darts.

[Nicolle Wallace @NicolleDWallace]

Idiocy in action right now with @LindseyGrahamSC ‘s line of questioning.

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

Sen @JeffFlake statement about doubt is important. 'We'll never move beyond doubt.' Can Sen. Flake put someone on Supreme Court for life if he has doubts?

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

If a witness, litigant or lawyer in open court were to wise off to the judge this way, he would risk a night in jail. But a judge can get away with it before Congress?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

.@SenatorDurbin asked Judge Kavanaugh if he would support an FBI investigation to clear his name. He refused to answer.

@MichaelSteele We wish

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

This slow motion political self immolation by the GOP is a wonder to behold. They have served up to America a toxic cocktail of cowardice, bullying, tone deafness and just plain nonsense. Incredible as it may seem, they will make their situation even worse in the next days.

[Nicolle Wallace @NicolleDWallace]

Best point made so far in Kavanaugh questioning just made by @SenatorDurbin - “turn to Don McGahn and ask ... for an FBI investigation.”

[Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti]

I have witnessed well over 500 witnesses testify in court and in deposition over the course of my career. There is no question that Dr. Ford is credible. This nomination must be withdrawn immediately and an honest, moral individual should be nominated. America deserves better.
