So despite Cornyn's objections....Grassley has just decided to let the committee run him.  And Blumenthal can bloviate way past his allotted 10 minutes.

Swell.

 I agree.  He is extremely .... uh.... "slow".  But then, look at the other Democrats (Mad Maxine, Hank Johnson, Pelosi, Hillary, Al Franken, etc., etc.).  They all should never have been able to be elected.  We have too many stupid voters.   8888crybaby

Wow.... Whitehouse is reading his script pretty well.... complete with appropriately timed disgusted facial expressions and pauses for 'effect'.

Ben Sasse:

Quote
Judge Kavanaugh doesn't hate women and children. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't lust after dirty water and stinky air. No, looking at his record, it seems to me that what he actually dislikes are legislators that are too lazy and risk-averse to do our actual jobs.

Because Grassley let everybody else run off at the mouth.

Kamala is easily the stupidest person in the room there. If the Rats think she is their hope to beat Trump they are in for a disappointment.

It was!  And especially so when you think of the courage it took for him to say that in that setting.

First Observations on the Kavanaugh Hearings

Paul has more fortitude than I do to live-blog the moment-by-moment unfolding of the circus at the Kavanaugh hearings. I predicted when Kavanaugh was nominated that the hearings would be disrupted. Not a hard prediction to make, but still—that didn’t take long. The hard part will be telling the difference between the protesters and the conduct of Corey Booker and Kamala Harris.

Maybe another way of thinking about it is that it is nice to see the Trump 2020 re-election grassroots campaign is turning out so enthusiastically at the hearings. The interesting question right now is whether these protests will become a daily occurrence. I hope so.

Funny how the spirit of civility we were told about during the McCain memorial observances lasted less than 48 hours. Somehow I’m sure it is still Trump’s fault.

That was an amazing speech by Ben Sasse.  He is officially my new idol.

Cute.  Yahoo has a huge story about how Kavanaugh snubbed the father of one of the Parkland school shootings.

The truth this, is dude ran up to Kavanaugh who had no idea who he was and guards whisked Kavanaugh away from him.

After that happened the father had a mini-press conference complaining Kavanaugh didn't understand the danger of guns.

They have no shame.  None.
