This morning, Senate Democrats made HUGE fools of themselves (huger than usual) by grossly grandstanding during the opening statements of the Kavanaugh hearing. Sounds like it was a concerted, plotted effort Democrats came up with over the weekend in hopes to stall Kavanaugh’s ultimate confirmation.
INTERRUPTIONS SO FAR:
Blumenthal, Richard 13
Booker, Cory 10
Harris, Kamala 8
Hirono, Mazie 6
Klobuchar, Amy 3
Whitehouse, Sheldon 2
Leahy, Patrick 1
Coons, Christopher 1TOTAL 44

We all know the senators squawking about missing emails are going to vote no ANYWAY.
That’s what the kicker is here. If they hadn’t been screeching for months about how they will try and block Kavanaugh their argument for more time might have held more water. But knowing this is all political theatre … meh.
Guy Benson took the most melodramatic senators apart with their own words.
Blumenthal: We need more time to review documents in a deliberative & thoughtful manner.
Blumenthal in July: "Judge Kavanaugh, you don’t belong in this building as a justice…you should not be serving in this building as a Supreme Court justice…I will be a ‘no’ vote."

Womp womp.
He’s a no vote either way.
Unless he lied about this like he lied about Vietnam.
Some quotes on Kavanaugh from Judiciary Dems — currently insisting they need more time & docs — *before* these hearings:
"I will be a 'no'…"
"It doesn't matter who [Trump] is putting forward…"
"I will stop to fight this nomination…"
"I will oppose his nomination…"— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) September 4, 2018
Again.
Wasting our time.
(1) Booker at the Kavanaugh hearing: We just need more time to carefully consider this nomination. What’s the Rush?

Oops.
Yeah, what’s the rush? HA!
Feinstein asks whether Kavanaugh is within the American legal mainstream. He's been unanimously rated "well qualified" by the left-leaning ABA & has served as a hugely influential judge on a hugely influential federal court for 12 years.

HA HA HA.
Someone should ask Dianne about her Chinese spy.
Feinstein talking about Trump scandals & investigations as a "backdrop" for hearings. Bill Clinton & his administration were under federal investigation when both of his SCOTUS nominees were confirmed.

Democrats.
This is pathetic.
