Booker releases secret Kavanaugh emails in defiance of Senate rules, drawing GOP condemnation

By Alex Pappas

Published September 06, 2018
FoxNews.com

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker injected chaos into Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing Thursday by releasing confidential Kavanaugh emails with the backing of fellow Democrats in violation of Senate rules, calling it an act of “civil disobedience” and drawing condemnation from the Republicans on the committee.

“I am going to release the e-mail about racial profiling and I understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the Senate,” Booker said at the beginning of the third day of Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing.

After announcing plans to do so, Booker released 12 pages of emails -- which had been marked "committee confidential" -- online for the public to read. The emails included internal post-9/11 discussions surrounding issues of racial profiling.

So he's willing to accept the consequences for breaking the rules?  What's the big deal?  It is EXPECTED BEHAVIOR for democrats to not adhere to rules and laws.  Or is he "just doing it" to nudge Colin Kaepernick out of the Niki deal and claim it for his own? ****slapping

Booker on Thursday drew attention to one 2002 email in particular from Kavanaugh that had the subject line “racial profiling.”

In the email, Kavanaugh, who was working as a lawyer in the Bush White House, said he “generally” favored race-neutral security measures, but said they need to “grapple” with the “interim question of what to do before a truly effective and comprehensive race-neutral system is developed and implemented.”

Oh, the horrors.

Yep.

Cornyn, at one point, read the Senate rule that says, “Any Senator, officer or employee of the Senate who shall disclose the secret or confidential business or proceedings of the Senate, including the business and proceedings of the committees, subcommittees and offices of the Senate shall be liable, if a Senator, to suffer expulsion from the body; and if an officer or employee, to dismissal from the service of the Senate, and to punishment for contempt.”

That was my thought and I wonder why Booker did this. The emails are very mundane and called for a 'race neutral' system and urged balance in the face of post 9/11 reactionism.

The only people this may bother are extremists who wanted serious profiling of all Muslims.

If those ideas came from a Dem, they would be praised as progressive.

The Senate won't do anything about Booker breaking the rules.  But that email is a whole lot of nothing, and I suspect most of the American people would side with Kavanaugh's very measured statement.  The reflexive "no profiling ever" baseline shared by the radical left isn't shared by most Americans.

This is actually a good issue for us.

Now I'm hearing that Booker hand already worked out with Mike Lee yesterday to release the very documents he grandstanded about today.

So Booker is creating a furor over a nothing burger.

I'm surprised that Mike Lee would agree to releasing private documents.

Booker is reveling in the attention, of course.

It's probably one of the only things they're good at...

Lee wouldn't have agreed to it or brokered their release with Grassley if he'd thought they would hurt Kavanaugh.

In a way he played Booker if you think about it.

Lee just made the case that the release of the documents in effect helps Kavanaugh... and even said that Booker should vote for Kavanaugh...lol.

So...the documents showed there was nothing wrong with Kavanaugh's actions at the time, and actually showed he was very firmly anti-racial profiling?

From what I read in the story, the released memos outline TSA's methods pretty clearly!  Booker did a good job of proving why they were supposed to be kept Confidential.
