WHAT NEW MEXICO’S LAWMAKERS ARE SAYING AFTER THE SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING ON JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH’S SUPREME COURT NOMINATION AND THE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM? SENATOR TOM UDALL SAYS, GIVEN WHAT HE CALLS THE CREDIBLE TESTIMONY FROM CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD ABOUT BEING SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY KAVANAUGH WHEN THEY WERE HIGH SCHOOLERS, IT’S OUTRAGEOUS THAT REPUBLICANS WANT TO RUSH TOWARD A VOTE ON KAVANAUGH. THAT’S FOR A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT TO THE SUPREME COURT. UDALL CALLS THIS A “WATERSHED” MOMENT FOR THE U-S.
MEANWHILE, THE REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE RUNNING AGAINST SENATOR MARTIN HEINRICH IS BEING URGED TO APOLOGIZE TO HEINRICH. MICK RICH SAID HE’D LIKE TO SEE HEINRICH TELL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THERE’S NO FUTURE FOR THEM IF THEY BEHAVE INAPPROPRIATELY AT A PARTY.
