Here she goes with tears. At some point she will dramatically exit the hearing-- because someone "offends her."

I have the audio off. I read her false statement; I have no intention of listening to it. I'm just waiting for the cue that she's finished.

She's crying, eh? I hope Kavanaugh isn't watching. Then again, I want him to be mad, and if Feinstein's trashy opening statement didn't piss him off, I'm sure hearing the lies and questions coming out of the dem senator's holes surely will.

Get mad, Kavanaugh. Get righteous. Don't hold back.

Merkely Files To Enjoin Kavanaugh Vote

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) filed for an injunction in federal court to stop a final vote on Brett Kavanaugh. The filing claims that the Republican majority is obstructing his constitutional duty to give advise and consent on nominees. The filing is entirely and utterly meritless. It will be dismissed and is unlikely to receive a hearing on the claim.


The filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia makes the specious claim that the refusal to receive documents constitutes a constitutional violation. I agreed with the Democrats that the Administration has wrongly withheld too many documents from the background of Brett Kavanaugh. However, the majority of this Committee has voted to go forward and agrees with the degree of disclosure. Merkley is subject to the rule established by his own institution in handling such nominations. For much of our history there were no confirmation hearings and little review of a nominee’s background.

I have spent much of my career arguing for legislative standing for members to bring lawsuits alleging constitutional violations. We won a major victory in the ACA case where I represented the United States House of Representatives. This undermines those efforts and fulfills the narrative of opponents that members would just continually file politically motivated, legally frivolous claims.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Kavanaugh needs to go in there PISSED and not meek and mild like we've seen so far.

The gloves are off. Hit them back, HARD.

not necessarily required but it was consented to.

Regardless, it is not spontaneous testimony, thus relevance and reliability is suspect.

Oh lord the stupidity yet he might have found a liberal enough court to do something stupid to put us in the edge of a Constitutional crisis.

If the idiot thinks he did not get enough documentation he has the ability to cast a no vote. All but maybe 4 of the democrats committed to a no vote on whoever President Trump nominates anyway even before they knew a name. Cry me a river.

The witness interviews can take hours. This format is stupid and the prosecutor can't get her questions answered quickly. She can filibuster by slowly reading everything. The democrats are going to destroy Kavanaugh in their time. With the kids gloves on the female prosecutor will get no questions answered. I can't believe this.
