ford's best friends at the time, lela leland kaiser who says she doesn't remember ever meeting brett kavanaugh and certainly she wasn't present at an event such as dr. forward described. well, this brings us back to the hearing last week. we watched judge kavanaugh defend his personal integrity and his good name in front of the nation. true, he did demonstrate some righteous indignation the way our colleagues across the aisle have handled this confirmation. he became very emotional as he choked back tears, but i must say he wasn't the only one choking back tears during his defense of his good name and reputation. there were many eyes around the room and across the country that were not dry. and he didn't aim his fury at dr. ford, but rather at the atrocious way the claims were sprung on him at the 11th hour, using an unfair process that violated the rules of the judiciary committee. they were not handled in the normal way, which would have respected the privacy and the desire for confidentiality of dr. ford but at the same time made sure that a good man was not smeared in public by a

, including senator leahy, senator markey, have been advocating for the release of filipino senator lela delima. senator delimo was the former head of the national human rights commission of the philippines and an internationally recognized human rights champion critical of president dutarte's extra judicialjudicial killings. what do that lead to? her arrest and being sentenced and imprisoned for three years in jail for speaking out against the current president of the philippines. here is a photo of her being taken to court after she was arrested. a little over three years ago. who is behind her release? not just the senators, but also amnesty international, a human rights commission, the raul wallenberg center. let me read an excerpt from a letter she sent me. as you can imagine, i may be the one currently in detention but i'm not the only victim suffering in incarceration. so are all defenders of human rights. ultimately, so are all of us all over the world who defend democracy and the rule of law. senator markey has a resolution calling for senator delima's relief and the end of hara
