Sept 7: Harris, Booker Produce Epic Fail at Kavanaugh Hearings "Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee madly raced to the bottom of demagoguery and stupidity this week during the hearings to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"But two of the leftists stood out in particular: Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California, both of whom might be Democratic contenders for the presidency." . . .
"Imperiously warning Kavanaugh to “be sure about your answer, sir,” Harris asked whether Kavanaugh had discussed Mueller or his investigation with anyone, or anyone at the law firm of Trump’s lawyer, Mark Kasowitz.
Harris badgered Kavanaugh with a supercilious tone and facial expressions. Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah observed that answering the question was impossible, given the number of lawyers and law firms in Washington, D.C., and that Kavanaugh would have to see a list of lawyers who worked at the firm.
“I don’t know everyone who works at that law firm, senator,” Kavanaugh answered, adding that he doesn’t remember any such conversation. But like Lee, Kavanaugh said he would need a roster of lawyers at the firm to answer.
After a testy exchange, Harris turned to the cameras, declaring, “Clearly you’re not going to answer the question.”
On Thursday, Harris came back at Kavanaugh again, and with the same high-handed tone, she said she “received reliable information” that he had such a conversation.
Replied Kavanaugh, “The answer is no.” . . .
