mike emanuel is here for us. the legal affairs correspondent for npr. 1991 report on anita hill's claim that clarence thomas sexuallyarassed her prompted the judicial committee to reopen his supreme court hearing. the news is moving so fast. i'm sure you were hearing john roberts report and mike emanuel. whawhat we are hearing know christine blasey ford's attorney she might be willing to testify. might not need that fbi investigation, but probably not going to happen on monday. what do you make of this? >> >> well, the democrats and republicans have -- are playing a game of chicken. and the nominee and the witness, dr. ford, are in the middle. and i am sure that dr. ford doesn't want to just abandon the field at this point, having decided to come forward and at least give an interview to the "the washington post," which set all of this in motion. so, if they can reach some sort of a negotiated compromise about when she will testify and what the circumstances will be and she will go first and he will go second. will she say something, have a chance to come back. there are all kinds of permutations of this that you ma

thomas matter with anita hill. and a lot of people asking why we shouldn't do that here because mike barnacle things just continue tot murkier and murkier as we move along we have a second accuser, but, again, just as many questions around the facts from three plus decades ago, in an alcohol fueled incident if you believe what we're reading in these reports. and so we need somebody to sort through it and it certainly is the case that members of the senate judiciary committee are not capable of doing that in a straightforward nonpartisan manner >> joe, we talked about it easterly but the hyper partisanship that surrounding this nomination and the court is tragic of what the court ought to be in our history, what it has been so many times in the past in our history and now basically another political event instead of sorting out exactly what this man judge kavanaugh may or may not be on the court. we have the charges levelled by dr. ford and miss ramirez, both of them have to be legitimately heard. you have to be, again, as we spoke about earlier, both women would have to be mentally ill to have injected themselves in

mike murphy and shelby holliday, and patrice, to you, republicans are very, very concerned about going back to the way they looked or were deemed to look in handling the clarence thomas/anita hill issue when a lot of women came first, lot of women ultimately won office that year, i believe 16 that particular year. they can see it happening again and they don't want it to happen again, but some of their more conservative counterparts are saying you're giving away the store here. where is this going? >> i think they are trying their best to put their best foot forward and really give this accuser, you know, the benefit of the doubt and let her be able to tell her story. there's going to come a point, though, when her demands become so outrageous or just so over the top that i think regular women and regular people will say listen, if you were really this intent on sharing your story, why the consistent moving of the goalposts and pushing back the date? it almost looks like it's politically motivated. i think conservatives are right to be able to give her some concessions but at the end of the day, they do need to stand firm and say we need to take a vote. if you're not
