"In conservative circles, there is outrage at the comment because this is a conservative judge, you have made your decision about him as it relates to the accusations. Can you clarify what you meant?" said Jackson.
Hirono responded by dismissing the law altogether. "Look, we are not in a court of law, we are in a court of credibility at this point," she said. "Without having the FBI report or some semblance of trying to get corroboration, we are left with the credibility of the two witnesses."
But Hirono made clear to Jackson that she believes his judicial record proves that he is not credible.
"I said his credibility is already questionable in my mind," she continued," because, one, he misstates cases, he missapplies cases, and, as I said at his hearing, we cannot have someone on the Supreme Court who does that..."
Before she again admitted that she's trashed the presumption of innocence for the judge, Hirono claimed that Republicans were trying to "railroad" him through and that "women and enlightened men" know that this is all a "set-up."
