After Dr.
Ford finished testifying, the Hon. Brett Kavanaugh again testified before this
same committee. This time, his demeanor was noticeably different. Employing Dr.
Paul Ekman’s model of measuring nonverbal expression or facial expression and
its accompanying emotional component, the Hon. Brett Kavanaugh clearly displayed
wrath or anger numerous times by the expressions on his face. His verbal tone,
pitch correlated as well. A heart monitor reading would have told the same
story as in an anxiety reaction. When Senator Klobuchar asked him about his
drinking behavior, the Hon. Kavanaugh, defensively shot back and asked her
about her drinking habits. For example, when she asked him whether he ever got
so drunk that he could not remember what happened the night before, he gave an
exaggerated response, “you’re asking about a blackout, I don’t know, have you?”
The Hon.
Brett Kavanaugh also heatedly accused - projected, as if a conspiracy, the
Democratic senators of trying to derail his nomination with false sexual
allegations as revenge for Hillary Clinton losing the White House. At the hearing’s end, Hon. Brett Kavanaugh
said he believed in God, and that he had not sexually assaulted anyone.
There have
been other reports of two women, in college, that claimed the Hon. Brett
Kavanaugh, when drunk, acted sexually inappropriately. Other Yale males said
that Kavanaugh drank a lot and was aggressive during these episodes. Judge
Kavanaugh admitted to drinking beer and liking beer. He denied ever blacking
out, but admitted to falling asleep.
