Oh, so this is showmanship for his base. Gotchya.
Okay, well, that is still sleazy.
Senate Republicans: “Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!”
That depends on which side of the protest line you are on.
Yes, but he got the sound bite and video footage that he can use in his ads targeted to ignorant people who don’t pay attention to politics until a POTUS election year.
Thank you for boiling it all down to the bone.
He already knew he would be safe from prosecution.
Grandstanding and with a phony “Outrage!” speech all ready.
Booker makes himself look more shallow and more lightweight
by the hour.
A sitting Senator breaking a rule of the US Senate cannot be arrested, charged nor jailed as it is only a senate rule. The body of the Senate can only admonish the Senator or remove him/her from of the (any) committee or vote to censure that Senator or to even remove the Senator from the US Senate altogether. But it is not a criminal offense to violate a senate rule.
I agree. He wasn’t the person to officially release it either.
If Mitch doesn’t move on this he’s lost control of the Senate and should be removed from leadership.
They did many years ago. Now its so obvious that even the Normies are starting to notice.
Yes, I agree.
Thanks, and I agree Lee.
These Leftists are so shallow.
Ironic, two Senators grilling a candidate on how he will uphold the Constitution, break it (Senate rules) themselves.
Wonder how “brave” Booker would be if somehow the Republicans would secure a 2/3 majority in the mid-term? I doubt he would be “grandstanding” like he is now.
I am sick and tired of these Democrats using this hearing to advance their political aspirations (Booker and Harris). And equally tired of the Republicans rolling over and playing dead to these clowns.
I wish someone would grow a set and tell Booker that if he or other Dems choose to release confidential documents, then they are removed from the committee and lose their ability to see ANY document. The damn Republicans have the majority and allow the Democrats to run the show. This crap has to stop!
So, if you read between the lines....
Booker CLAIMED to have some bombshell e-mail about Kavanaugh being racist, an e-mail that was “confidential”, and for which he could lose his job, but it was ‘just so important’ he was releasing it.
BUT, the e-mail itself says nothing of the kind, nothning at all racist, nothing about being against blacks. A total nothing.
AND, it turns out the committee, which was tasked with reviewing the “committee confidential” e-mails, had already DECIDED that e-mail could be publicly released. Meaning Booker knew he was not actually going to be “violating the rules”.
But by pretending he was, he gets to paint this false picture that the committee was hiding the e-mail, when in fact the committee RELEASED the e-mail and hundreds of others today, as they intended.
But the major news organizations, who keep acting SHOCKED that we don’t trust them, don’t do their job and report this directly. Any competent journalist could figure this out, and would WANT their readers to know the truth.
OK, well, oust him from the Senate.
We should actually be thanking Sen. Booker.
This antic, along with the hired protestors shouting and hollering, will actually serve to strengthen the support for Mr. Kavanaugh.
Normal Americans will be repulsed at the childish and immature tactics of these typical liberals.
I predict these gimmicks will not only serve to get Kavanaugh approved, but will also carry on to help the Red Wave victory in November.
“Hey Booker. You want some more rope? Here. Have at it.”
And we wonder why our children do not obey the law.
Laws are for the Wipipo.
TSD or TDS?
