Democrats throw a fit, embarrass themselves at confirmation hearings
Democrats' Kavanaugh Tantrums Are An Embarrassment
9/04/2018 INVESTOR'S BUISINESS DAILY Grandstanding: Any doubt that Democrats are desperate to stall Judge Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court ended Tuesday, when they made a mockery of the confirmation hearings. This was nothing more than — bad — political theater. In the first 40 minutes of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination hearing, Democrats interrupted the Senate Judiciary Committee proceedings 44 times. That's to say nothing of the protesters who alternately shrieked and cheered. It was all well planned. "Democrats plotted coordinated protest strategy over the holiday weekend and all agreed to disrupt and protest the hearing, sources tell me," NBC News' Kasie Hunt tweeted Tuesday morning. The current excuse for the Democrats' push to delay the Kavanaugh hearings is the last-minute release of 42,000 pages of documents from former President Bush's lawyer. Keep in mind that those are on top of the 415,000 pages Bush's legal team had already sent over to the committee. And that all of them relate to the two years that Kavanaugh worked in the Bush White House Counsel's Office and three years as staff secretary. Nevertheless, before Chairman Chuck Grassley could get a sentence out, Senator Kamala Harris demanded that the hearings be postponed. read more Whiskey PoliticsEp. 139 – Kevin D.
