I'm proud of the Democrats for fighting back at this so called hearing, they are exposing the GOP shenanigans for all the voters to hear. May they listen and vote accordingly.

It's all just theater. They don't have enough votes to stop him. If they did they would find a way to cave. That's what they do best.

I have been watching this. It is a shame they did not get all the information and are expected to make a decision on limited documents.

Not only the voters, people in other countries are watching too. It is clear to me that the process is being abused and compared with the blocking of Obama's nominee, the haste is being seen for what it probably is - they are hiding something that they don't want the public to know about.
Dare I suggest that this is the kind of abuse that the Constitution is supposed to guard against. It ought to be a bipartisan desire to avoid appointing a Supreme Court justice whose past reveals that he/she is unsuitable or unfit for this high office.

These thugs, "GOP," don't give two hoots about the constitution, as long as they get to control the country and all it's contents, nothing else matters. Right now, they have the power and they are going to abuse it. They continue to show the world just who they are and that the rest of the people who have to abide by their rule are just seen as a nuisance they must occasionally put up with now and again. Before Trump, they used to somewhat pretend to care, now, they have the backing of Trumps nitwits so they know as long as they play by his book of they can't do any wrong.

1. The "voters" aren't watching. If you stopped 50 people on the street I doubt you'd find one who watched. Most will say "Who"? Others will either suggest "their side" will push it through or "their side" can't stop the confirmation.
2. There is one remote chance the Dems have. That chance is to continue pushing how convoluted this sham is. And, keep hammering that, if confirmed, he will be adjudicating whether the person who "hired" him can be removed from office. If they push hard enough, that one chance is getting one or two Republican Senators to turn. The GOP has been telling some Dems up for re-election in Red states they have to vote to confirm. In reality, there is a chance that some GOP Senators facing re-election in Red or Blue districts could be in trouble if they vote to confirm.

Many of the Democrat Senators that were on this committee were on the evening news talking about what has happened with this confirmation......they are getting the word out...we'll see in November how many are listening.

Day 3 of Kavanaugh hearing begins w/@corybooker vowing to release confidential Kavanaugh emails -- even if it means he's ejected from the Senate! "I openly accept the consequences. I am releasing it to expose that emails being withheld have nothing to do the national security." Dick Durbin just said he is with Booker.......and so it goes, they can't stop Kavanaugh's confirmation but they are exposing the GOP.

The Democrats are going to keep losing as long as they continue the strategy of being against the GOP rather than being for something. So far the tally stands at over 1,000 state and local seats nationwide under Obama. Both houses of Congress, and the White House. And now, after letting the GOP steal Scalia's replacement the Republicans will own the court for a generation to come. So much losing.

Dick Durbin just said he is with Booker.......and so it goes, they can't stop Kavanaugh's confirmation but they are exposing the GOP. The last senator to be expelled from and by the Senate was in 1862. Two fellow Democratic senators have said they will suffer the same should Booker face expulsion. This entire exercise simply goes to show how the GOP majority has hidden anything they can from the public by tagging it "confidential". As Booker said there is nothing in the released document that contains names or has anything to do with national security. These hearings may not attract the audience numbers one would like to see. Still, clips from these hearings will be replayed over and over and over by Democratic candidates running for office in November. Clips will be replayed over and over and over on news outlets. The Kavanaugh hearings cannot stop him from being confirmed. The GOP will confirm even though it shouts of their lack of integrity. The GOP will confirm because they deem their position more important than the security of OUR Nation. The positive of these hearings is singular. The positive being that if one or two or however many voters are required to turn the House majority from GOP to Democratic... it is a success. The majority in at least the House must be flipped or the Nation is in much deeper doo-doo than it even is today. Folks, that deep in doo-doo would undoubtedly make OUR Country deserving of joining other nations as being tagged a "s**thole"

You really think these hearings are going to make a difference? Half of all Americans cannot name one single Supreme Court Justice. That's one out of nine.

That's because they were surveying Trumpers from Florida
