GOP Senator: Democrats Promoting ‘Mob Rule’ at Kavanaugh Hearing
The Weekly Standard ^ | 9/4/2018 | John McCormack

'If this were a court of law' Democrats 'would be held in contempt.'

At what was the most raucous opening to a Supreme Court nomination hearing in history, Senate Democrats repeatedly interrupted Judiciary committee chairman Charles Grassley’s opening statement, demanding that the hearing be adjourned until they had more time to review documents that passed across nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s desk when he worked as staff secretary at the White House for President George W. Bush.

Texas GOP senator John Cornyn, the majority whip, accused Democrats of promoting “mob rule.”

“I would suggest that if this were a court of law, that virtually every member on the dais on that [Democratic] side would be held in contempt of court because this whole process is supposed to be a civil one where people get to ask questions and we get to get answers,” Cornyn said. “I would just suggest we get on with the hearing.”

When you have the law, bang on the law. When you have the facts, bang on the facts.

If you have neither.... bang on the table.

Arrest ALL of them. Consider it a gift and round them up. Sort it out later.

The Senate is a gentleman's club where decorum is expected and rules of civility and respect are to be counted on.

At least, that's how the RINOs behave toward the Democrats.
For the Democrats, the Senate is a blood support.

Today’s unhinged Marxist RAT Senators are sending more and more Democrat voters to the WalkAway Campaign!!

Any sane American wouldn’t want to be associated with these “insane” Marxist RAT Senators and their, probably paid, terrorist protestors in the gallery.

What a show of contempt for our laws and Congressional processes. Democrats, RINOs and the media are at a feeding frenzy in desperation. This encourages me......they’re on the ropes and are pulling every dirty trick they can find. We need to stick with the plan, get Kavanaugh confirmed and regroup for the next fight.

I find Blumenthal and Coons to be so Yankee smug.

Rowdy America-haters. No democrat should ever be elected to public office.

I say Ginsburg goes soon.
I think John Roberts may suddenly decide to step down.
Sotomayor’s health isn’t good, so you never know ...
