So, anyone catch the farce of a hearing.....

Otherwise known as "Brett-Kavanaugh's-second-hearing-which-was-totally-unnecessary-to-begin-with-but-seven-Democrats-in-the-almighty-Gang-of-14-apparently-make-the- mountains-shake,-the-oceans-dry-up-and-the-winds-roar-if-they-aren't-appeased-at-every-turn-by-Republicans-scared-of-their-own-shadow" hearing.

Senators Cornyn, Hatch, Coburn and Sessions hit it on the head when they openly wondered exactly what good this second hearing has done.

Senator Leahy was positively hostile. He could not conceal his contempt for Brett Kavanaugh. Senator Kennedy was condescending and obsessed with torture....interesting to note. Senator Durbin played the wounded victim about his public documents being revealed to the world and was his usual sarcastic, bombastic self. Senator Feingold was more interested . Senator Schumer was not interested in answers, only firing as many questions as possible in an effort to play prosecutor rather than statesman. He was given double the time allowed to other Senators to parade his hostility. It was appalling.

Friends, make no mistake. This was about embarrassing the Bush Administration and vying for "Sound Bite of the Day" Award. Had little or nothing to with "discovering more information." They had three years to do that. In fact, it had little to do with Brett Kavanaugh as they tried desperately to throw as much spaghetti on the wall as they could to see what, if anything would stick.

Under this assault, Brett Kavanaugh conducted himself with absolute dignity, displayed extraordinary patience and the keen intellect so many praised in support of his nomination.

Time to end this charade and get on with the vote.
