Summary
We will hear from Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford on Thursday. It apparently doesn't matter what either one will say, because the GOP has already scheduled a vote for Friday morning. Will her testimony trigger any of them to vote against him? Do they even care? If they confirm Kavanaugh, they will pay a very serious price this November. We talk about the grotesque manner that Kavanaugh is being pushed through the Senate with Jocelyn Frye from the Center for American Progress about the embarrassment that Republicans are putting themselves through.
We also get an update on news from the House with Rep Mark Pocan (D-WI).
We also talk about labor from a different perspective with Matt Woodruff, President of The American Maritime Partnership.
