Rep. Ted Lieu started things off by offering this hypothetical scenario in defense of how the Democrats are treating the nomination process for Brett Kavanaugh:
Suppose you are on a Board interviewing an applicant for a permanent legal position. At least two women make sexual assault allegations under penalty of perjury. During the job interview he yells at you & makes some false statements. Would you hire him?#SaturdayMorning Thoughts

One of Twitchy’s favorite actors, Adam Baldwin, fired back this way:
a) Not a “job interview,” but a constitutional function.
b) The allegations are utterly uncorroborated & he’s presumed innocent.
c) His righteous indignation/anger at “board members” who subverted/perverted the “interview” process is entirely justified:https://t.co/LZP1RJV7kG

Lieu then defended the Dems this way:
It's a constitutional job interview. The standard is, are you comfortable with the applicant for a lifetime position?
In a job interview, if you have doubts about the applicant and there are other qualified applicants, you move on and choose another qualified person.

In that case, the question had to be asked:
When 50% +>1 of the Senate find him qualified and he’s then “hired,” will you cease complaining, Ted?https://t.co/7s1bjfDehG

LOL! As. IF.
.@tedlieu will always complain. That's his life. https://t.co/2iTLnQFYcV

Nor will the rest of the congressional Dems, even after the FBI has checked out the allegations.
