What does this string of frauds collectively show? That the Democrats are out of ideas, they have no basis for objecting to Kavanaugh on factual grounds, so their next tack is to make some up. It's as if they've become a party of Ben Rhodeses, millions of them, all cooking up fake narratives to hide the ugly reality and the missing facts. This is the Democrats now, and they're starting to stink of fake news, the frauds that drip from their crazed phony narratives.

And all of this on the first day. Heaven knows what they've got in reserve - if anything - but it sure as hell won't be something that disqualifies Kavanaugh or takes the confirmation process off-track.

Why do they let this crap go down ?

People in line getting openly paid to disrupt a Senate committee mtg on a supreme court justice.

you stop this by fining people who disrupt the mtg w fines of $10k and 3 mos in jail.

And you nail the guy paying them w a bigger penalty.

^^^ Prosecution - proving they did what they did, even if it is obvious that they did it - takes time and is uncertain. Showing the footage is immediate and leaves the onus of proof on the other side in the court of public opinion at a time when we're about two months away from the midterm elections. It also "refutes" the anti-Kavanaugh theatrics in a way that's very difficult to respond to but doesn't require any more of an investment than whatever investment the Dems made in the anti-Kavanaugh theatrics.

There ain't nothin' immoral about it, it's politically smart, and it denies the Democrats the advantages of waging a form of asymmetrical warfare in the political arena. IOW, it's the moral equivalent of shoving a copy of "Rules For Radicals" right up Saul Alinsky's ass.

Bear in mind, too, that there's nothing stopping them from launching an investigation and prosecution later, when there's time, and when it's difficult to politicize the prosecution.

You got to hand it to the demoKKKrats, when they go crazy, they go crazy:

may or may not be NSFW or NSFH

For chrissakes. Yeah, let's take these people seriously.

Sen. Grassley said that over 70 protesters in the audience were arrested on Tuesday, but allowed that the protestors had a right to freedom of speech.

“Today will be different,” he said.

??

But the protests continued as at least 26 protesters interrupted the first 30 minutes of the hearing proceedings by screaming their dissent to Kavanaugh’s nomination

The volume of protesters appeared to irritate even the Democrats as Sen. Dianne Feinstein apologized to Kavanaugh.

“I’m sorry about the circumstances, but we’ll get through it,” she said.

says the senator who set up the sneak attack of the Guttenberg guy

I can't even imagine the shitshow that will ensue from these nasty, desperate Democrats when it's eventually RBG's Trump-nominated replacement sitting there.

Schumer tried to claim senate rules to not allow the hearing to go past 2pm. But apparently McConnell and Schumer "came to an agreement" to proceed w the hearing

I think the Democraps are hoping they can draw this out so long and make it so miserable for Kavanaugh and his family that he withdraws.

Just take it easy

Well that wasn't very accurate

Schumer tried to invoke a senate rule:

"When the Senate is in session, no committee of the Senate..may meet..after two o'clock postmeridian unless consent therefor has been obtained from the majority leader and the minority leader"

The cmte would have to adjourn at 2 pm under the objection by Schumer. Cmtes can meet as long as they like when the Senate is NOT in session

So majority leader McConnell adjourned the entire U.S. Senate, and the Kavanaugh hearing continues

McConnell must be enjoying this

Sure, lets call it a day at 2pm and go straight to the floor vote. Does that work for you Schumer?

Senator Hirono is horribly outclassed by Judge Kavanaugh. She could question him about anything, and she chooses to waste her time questioning him on statements he made regarding the origin of the Hawaiian people.

Judiciary Committee chairman calls Democratic attacks on Kavanaugh a 'double standard.'

Weekly Standard
Andrew Egger

It didn’t take long for proceedings to heat back up as the first day of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings resumed after lunch, as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley reopened the hearing by taking the committee’s Democrats to task for unfair accusations against Kavanaugh and the four current conservative members of the Supreme Court.

“This issue has never come up from my colleagues, but I thought as I sat here and listened to some people criticize the Supreme Court for in some sense being bought. … Whenever the president criticizes the judiciary or judicial decisions, we hear wails of anguish from my Democratic colleagues,” Grassley said. “They attack the president for threatening the independence and the integrity of the judiciary, and they applaud the judiciary for standing up to the president.”

Growing angry, Grassley continued: “I just listened to some of my colleagues here, one of them spent 18 minutes attacking the personal integrity of justices of the Supreme Court. He said that
five justices had been bought and sold by private interest. He accused them of deciding cases to the benefit of favored parties. So I think it’s pretty clearly a double standard, and we shouldn’t have to tolerate such a double standard.”

Grassley was referring to remarks made an hour before by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who used his opening statement to take aim at the court’s conservative bloc, which he called the “Roberts Five.” Whitehouse accused the bloc of “going off on partisan excursions” at the command of “the big funders and influencers of the Republican party.”

“When the Roberts Five saddles up, these so-called conservatives are anything but judicially conservative,” Whitehouse said. “They readily overturn precedent, toss out statutes passed by wide bipartisan margins, and decide on broad constitutional issues they need not reach. Modesty, originalism, stare decisis, all these supposedly conservative judicial principles, all have the hoofprints of the Roberts Five all across there backs, wherever those principles got in the way of wins for the Big Republican interests.”

Whitehouse went on to sketch an ominous picture of a vast right-wing judicial conspiracy under which “big business and partisan groups” fund nonprofits like the Federalist Society and the Judicial Crisis Network, to strong-arm their nominees onto the courts.

Grassley’s rebuke of Whitehouse wasn’t his first attempt to wrest the proceedings back to regular order. The hearing got off to a rocky start when a succession of Democrats took the floor to demand the hearing be postponed before Grassley could even gavel in, a tactic which led Republican senator John Cornyn to protest that Democrats were exercising “mob rule” and that “if this were a court of law,” the Democrats “would be held in contempt.”


For a time, Grassley tolerated the interruptions, saying it would be smoother to hear the Democrats out than to try to run roughshod over their protests. But he grew irritable as the repetitious objections piled up.

“I’m not going to entertain any of the motions you’re making; we’re not in executive session. I think we ought to level with the American people—do you want this to go on all day?” Grassley said. “Every one of you said during the Justice Gorsuch hearing, every one of you prefaced your comments on how fair I was in running that hearing. Now this is the same Chuck Grassley that ran the Gorsuch hearings. I’d like to run this hearing the same way, if you’ll give me the courtesy of doing it.”
