On the recordOctober 5, 2018
I will yield back to my colleague from California, but let me just close my part of this colloquy by saying that we saw the real Brett Kavanaugh before us on that day at that moment, and I think my colleagues, if they review that picture, a picture is worth a thousand words. If they apply common sense--we should not leave common sense at the door. If they put themselves in the shoes of someone appearing, seeking justice, they will vote against Brett Kavanaugh and the disrespect that he showed that brave survivor, Dr. Blasey Ford. I yield back to my colleague from California.
