We're on a day of opening statements and explicit soapboxing with the question time hotseat and veiled soapboxing reserved for tomorrow.

A whole day of opening statements he can’t even respond to, isn’t at all some unnecessary bullshit.

Linda Sarsour..... what a yucky human being. Never misses an opportunity to pander and peddle her hatred.

Chaos descends as Senate hearing on Trump's high court nominee opens

With Democratic senators interrupting the Judiciary Committee’s Republican chairman Chuck Grassley at the outset of the hearing and dozens of shouting protesters removed one by one by security personnel, the session quickly descended into a ruckus.

“This is the first confirmation for a Supreme Court justice I’ve seen, basically, according to mob rule,” Republican Senator John Cornyn said, a characterization Democrats rejected.




Seems like the democrats are going round the bend. I wonder if they realize how much this kind of behavior will damage their November 2018 hopes?

this. their base wants them to obstruct Kavanaugh's confirmation by any means.

and they, of course, have a slight glimmer of hope of delaying his confirmation until after the midterms, where they have a very small but non-zero chance of flipping the senate.

As much as not even holding a hearing for Garland affected GOP turnout?
