yes it was a kangaroo court set up to bolster kavanaugh in all manners. there was nothing about the way that it was set up that was appealing or favored Ford. she asked that it be delayed. initially that was refused, then okay'd by only 3 business days. she requested no outside counsel. that was shot down. she asked that Kavanaugh testify first. that was refused (which personally i agree with). she asked that Judge be questioned so that he wouldnt lie under threat of perjury. noone else was called.
she requested that this not have the appearance of a criminal case. the Republicans set it up specifically to look as much as a criminal proceeding as possible, because they knew that nothing would ever come of it from a legal standpoint. outside counsel asked all the questions to Ford and essentially no questions to Kavanaugh.
if you want to talk kangaroo court, it definitely was - to discredit Ford and bolster the chances of Kavanaugh getting nominated. and he almost screwed it up still by acting like such a partisan biased republican.
FWIW, most innocent men who know the charges are ridiculous would most likely act very nonchalantly, because they know everything is trumped up. imo his weeping and crying and false accusations ainst questioning (which were completely inappropriate and he even admitted it later) were signs that he was either playing up to Trump or there was potentially something concerning in these allegations he felt the need to overreact.
