The Kavanaugh hearings; Congress at its most disgusting

While posting commentary on Tuesday's circus, today's Democrat performance is already beginning as we speak.

As always, Lucianne is a wealth of commentary.
. . . "So it was that Kamala Harris, with an eye on 2020, immediately demanded that Chairman Chuck Grassley adjourn the Judiciary Committee hearing. Her argument, echoed by her Democratic colleagues, is that they'd just gotten 42,000 pages of documents the night before, and there were reams of other Kavanaugh papers that the White House was withholding on grounds of executive privilege." . . .

Democrats disgrace themselves in day one of Kavanaugh hearings
"The spectacle of the Kavanaugh hearing Tuesday morning was a circus, planned and orchestrated by the usual suspects: Senators Durbin, Schumer, Blumenthal, Booker, Klobuchar, Harris (particularly ill behaved), Feinstein, Hirono, etc. Like seventh-graders planning to bully the nerdy kid, they were probably gleeful as they schemed to disrupt the proceedings by interrupting relentlessly. 
"And then there were the shrieking protesters. It is hard to imagine sane people behaving like that in public, let alone in the halls of Congress and during judicial hearings. Still, for all the rudeness and disrespect, it was a wonderful thing to see. The American people, those who watched, cannot help but realize that the Democrats are the party of immaturity, of sheer childishness. Throwing tantrums is their best thing. 
"Those who lectured and moralized the most are those least qualified to do so. Kamala Harris slept her way into California politics with Willie Brown. Cory Booker has imaginary friends he uses and abuses. When he speaks, it is pure blather. He makes no sense. Richard Blumenthal lied about having served in Vietnam. These are self-unaware people. They clearly have an exaggerated sense of their own intellectual capacity. And they don't listen." . . . 

The Only Part Of The Kavanaugh Hearing You Need To See Is Ben Sasse  . . . "While Sasse was addressing those in the room, the lecture should be well-heeded by every American. With our rights comes responsibilities to be informed and vote." . . .



. . . But that’s exactly what Durbin and other Democrats planned. During the hearing, Durbin admitted that he and other Democrats agreed in a conference call — led by Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer — on how to protest and disrupt the hearings as best they could.  . . .

Democrats wage a losing battle over Kavanaugh  . . . "There was real tension as raucous audience members took turns trying to drown out the Senate Judiciary Committee with angry shouts and screams. It’s a safe guess that none was shrieking in support of the nominee, who sat stoically through the rain of insults, though his young daughters reportedly were escorted out to spare them the ­ordeal.
"The tension peaked as Democrats on the panel rolled out their own form of disruption, a coordinated attack on the hearing itself. They even interrupted each other to demand a recess so they could vote on whether to go forward." . . .

Three frauds ginned up by Democrats at the Kavanaugh hearing  . . . "What's even creepier is that Fred Guttenberg, the Parkland survivor father, admitted on Twitter that he was pretty much planning the stunt.  With a little help from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who got him in the room, he obviously had a big fish for the media to wolf down in the press on the handshake matter.  Yet it was an utter, utter fraud, and like the screamers of Exhibit A, he couldn't keep it a secret.
"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."

Liberal groups knock Schumer’s handling of Kavanaugh nomination
Don't get your hopes up about the left's becoming more honorable; they don't feel Democrats were nasty enough. TD
. . . "But Schumer is grappling with multiple challenges: a base that wants him to stop Kavanaugh even though Republicans can confirm him without Democratic help, as well as a brutal midterm map and vulnerable incumbents who are under pressure to support Trump’s pick. Senate Democrats have largely united behind Schumer’s strategy of demanding documents and disrupting the Judiciary Committee’s hearing. But liberal groups say it’s not enough." . . .

Woman sitting behind Kavanaugh at his Supreme Court hearing was accused by his opponents of flashing a white power gesture. Then they learned the truth  
. . . " 'Out of all the things you should be legitimately concerned about regarding the Senate confirmation hearings in Washington, DC, today for Judge Kavanaugh," he wrote, "handshakes and handsigns ought not be among them. Actual serious constitutional issues are at stake.' "

100% FedUp posts that it was a setup to troll Democrats: 
Update: GOTCHA! LIBERALS TROLLED HARD By Hilarious Joke Done At Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearing
. . . "it started off with quite a bang followed by nonsense, more nonsense, some other nonsense, then one epic prank that made every liberal wearing a tin hat look like a gullible dolt."
