It's all performative bullshit. Democrats just haven't been doing it for years

I thought the outbursts were kind of silly, not to mention wholly disingenuous. Silly because they talked over the chairman like pouting children. Disingenuous because the lot of them have said before the hearings that they weren't going to vote to confirm so this "oh, so many pages to read" objection doesn't hold water. Basically it's political grandstanding and "I want to be president" positioning.

And yes, I (speaking for the lefty/libs) don't like Booker on education. I like him on other things. I'm hoping for Gillibrand, though. Natural politician.

That's the standard answer since Ginsburg.
thegreekdog wrote:I believe the primary (public) concern being espoused by the Democrats is that Kavanaugh makes it likely that Roe v. Wade is overturned. Kavanaugh has made it clear he's not going to rule to overturn and at least conservatives believe him. This leads me to believe that the real concern is political grandstanding. Which is fine because I'm fairly certain the Democrats can't do anything to stop it from happening.

I think that's too short-sighted a concern (and one based entirely about political posturing); the Democrats should focus on abortion, unions, campaign funding, and other social-type issues. Trump will be president for two more years. Who cares what happens to him after?
