New York Times - Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford Square Off in Emotional Hearing With Court in Balance
WASHINGTON — Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh and his accuser faced off Thursday in an extraordinary, emotional day of testimony that ricocheted from a woman’s tremulous account of sexual assault to a man’s angry, outraged denial, all of which played out for hours before a riveted nation and a riven Senate.
The two very different versions of the truth, unfolding in the heated atmosphere of gender divides, #MeToo and the Trump presidency, could not be reconciled. The testimony skittered from cringe-worthy sexual details to accusations and denials of drunken debauchery to one juvenile exchange over flatulence.
Washington has not seen anything like it in a generation. For people not used to watching government in action, it was a spectacle of tantrums, tears, preening and political ambition - what Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, called, “Sadly one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the United States Senate.”
I watched this political circus for most of 8 hours. I feel ill. Has the Senate learned nothing since 1991?

dejadeadnz:
... [Kavanaugh's] demeanour throughout much of his testimony was closer to that of a palpably unhinged maniac, with almost unrestrained aggression and absolutely naked displays of partisanship. ...
What else would you expect from an ultra-conservative puppet candidate hand-picked by Donald Trump for a position of power?
"Only the best people." 
EDIT
The Washington Post - The only consensus is that the Senate - and the nation - have hit a new low.
