Chaos: Kavanaugh Hearings Kick off with Belligerent, Shrieking Democrat Hecklers

Chaos: Kavanaugh Hearings Kick off with Belligerent, Shrieking Democrat Hecklers, Calls to Adjourn
Grassley: ‘We will continue as planned’

Sep 4, 2018

NOTE: WATCH THE HEARING LIVE HERE


Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings began on a chaotic note, with Democratic protesters repeatedly interrupting the proceedings with belligerent, shrieking heckling.

As the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, Sen. Grassley (R-Iowa), attempted to call the hearings to order, hecklers almost immediately began heckling the lawmakers.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) promptly interrupted Grassley, demanding a delay to the hearings. Sen. Klobuchar (D-Minn.) then followed up with another call to delay the hearings. The Democratic lawmakers were upset over documents the White House released last night, which they said came too late.

"We cannot possibly move forward," Sen. Kamala Harris said. Sen. Blumenthal then moved to adjourn the meeting, a call which received a roaring ovation from the hecklers.

Watch above to witness the circus in full swing.

Below is a transcript:

GRASSLEY: “Good morning. I welcome everyone to this confirmation hearing on the nomination of —“

GRASSLEY: “— Brett Kavanaugh --”

Libtard EPIC FAIL. Repubs are outmaneuvering libtards every step of the way. That is why they are so pissed off.

Just relax and take it. It will be over soon.

Schumer is clearly a screaming dumb ass to set himself up to look like a clown publically in the manner.

Schumer attempted to invoke what is called the “2 p.m. rule,” objecting to the Senate conducting business as usual on the floor while the Judiciary Committee continues its business past 2:00 p.m. In response, McConnell adjourned the entire U.S. Senate floor so the Judiciary Committee could continue the Kavanaugh hearings:
 
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,

we appreciate your contribution.

We already have the votes. This is just a dog and pony show for the sheeples.
 
It’s Time To End Judicial Hearings. They’re A Stupid Waste Of Time.

So, we’re now into the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s pick to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. The hearings have been disrupted scores of times by disgruntled Leftists, marred by idiotic rumors regarding supposed white supremacist hand signals and refused handshakes, and finally run into the ground by Democrats intent on launching 2020 presidential campaigns on the back of ridiculous grandstanding.

On Wednesday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) grilled Kavanaugh on whether he had ever had discussions with lawyers from the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres — a law firm that works with President Trump — regarding the Mueller investigation. The law firm has nearly 300 lawyers. Kavanaugh asked for clarification on a specific lawyer she thinks he talked to; he said, “I’m not sure I know everyone who works at that law firm.” This is, to be sure, a reasonable answer. But no one cares about reasonable — Harris instead decided to suggest repeatedly that Kavanaugh had covert discussions with Trump agents at Kasowitz. With no evidence.

Then it got worse: Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) took over the stage. On Thursday, Booker supposedly released classified documents regarding Kavanaugh’s nomination — except that, as it turns out, those documents had already been cleared for release. Booker described the documents as deeply important. They weren’t. He described himself as Spartacus. He isn’t. He said he could be expelled from the Senate for his act of bravery. He couldn’t be. And it turns out that the documents showed Kavanaugh understands how precedent works and opposed racial profiling in airport security. Oops.


All of this is a clown show. We know it; the senators know it; the judicial nominees know it. All relevant questions could be asked and answered in writing. These are merely hearings done for spectacle, designed to degrade the judicial process and elevate senators with presidential aspirations. It’s time for them to come to an end. They’ve been in hospice care ever since the nomination of Judge Robert Bork in 1987; we’ve learned nothing of use in three decades of such hearings. Time, then, for them to die. At least then we won’t have to watch Cory Booker re-enact imaginary scenes from Spartacus.
