The Kavanaugh Circus

If you want access to the gallery to view a Senate hearing you have to go to a senator’s office and request a pass. It is evident, therefore, that all the yelling and screaming in last week’s Senate confirmation hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh was orchestrated anger directed at least in part by Democrat members of Congress. To some, however, even that wasn’t enough. Dianne Feinstein’s primary opponent State Senator Kevin de Leon criticized her for not breaking senate rules and for remaining civil in her questioning of Kavanaugh. In his thinking she should have imitated the rabble who were thrown out of the hearing room for disrupting the proceedings. That says a lot as to the future direction of the Democrat Party.
Cory Booker (who is contemplating a run for President) took the middle ground. He claimed he was risking being tossed out of the Senate for releasing documents about Kavanaugh which had not been cleared for release (but which had, in fact, been cleared for release) and that the documents were about racial profiling. Senator Booker, who is black, was particularly concerned about such profiling. So (it turned out) was Judge Kavanaugh since the paper in question opposed such a policy.
