Kavanaugh hearing: Democrats cry foul over lack of access to documents, seek to delay proceedings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The confirmation hearing for Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh for a seat on the Supreme Court quickly devolved into a political brawl on Tuesday, as Democrats sought to delay proceedings that one prominent Republican characterized as being governed by “mob rule.”

At the outset, Democrats repeatedly interrupted the opening statement of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) — as protesters in the room heckled the senators — and sought to adjourn.

“What are we trying to hide? Why are we rushing?” Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked.

Democrats have charged that documents on Kavanaugh’s career have been withheld without justification, particularly those from his tenure as a White House staffer for former president George W. Bush. Tensions flared Monday night when a lawyer for Bush turned over 42,000 pages of documents from Kavanaugh’s service to the committee on the eve of the hearing.

I agree. What are they trying to hide?

1. Did they bring their guns?

2. Democrats have no mechanism to delay hearings,

All they can do is go at kavanaugh and hit the new shows afterwards.

3. If they had some GOP back up but alas

the GOPs don't work well with others.

4. in the end, its about meeting common objectives and kavanough will make that happen, elections

have consequences and this is just another one

5. Doc review should be crowd-sourced

Have staffers work as long as needed and as quickly as possible to scan and post these docs on the web. Lots of people, including journalists, will start reading, digging and finding the relevent information. For the journalists/investigative reporters, this is a chance at a Pulitzer Prize.
