Confirmed: Democrats Coordinated Their Temper Tantrum at Kavanaugh Hearing, Guess Who Led the Way
By Townhall. Democrats coordinated and planned over the long holiday weekend to obnoxiously interrupt the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The hearing started Tuesday morning and will likely run through the end of the week.
Right from the start, Democrat members of the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly spoke out of order, personally attacked Chairman Chuck Grassley and demanded the hearing be adjourned. Cortney has the details covered here. . .
Sources tell @Kasie and me that this is a coordinated effort by Senate Dems on the Judiciary Committee, and that it was discussed during the holiday weekend on a call organized by Schumer.

By 11 a.m., Kavanaugh still hadn’t given his opening statement. The hearing started at 9:30 a.m.
Grassley now says Kavanaugh’s opening statement will be delayed because of the democrats objections this morning. “It’ll probably be later this afternoon now,” Grassley says if Kavanaugh’s Opening Stmt.
“How long you want to go on with this?” – Grassley then asks Dems.

Lindsey Graham Certain Kavanaugh ‘Is Going to Be on the Supreme Court’
By Fox News. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham called Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh “the single best legal mind of his generation,” adding he’s certain the judge “is going to be on the Supreme Court.”
Graham told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that Trump was the “big winner” in Wednesday’s hearing and that Democrats were the “big losers.” He said that Republicans have voted in favor of certain liberal judges in the past when the party was in the minority — but he claimed Democrats have been unwilling to do the same.
“I think the country is tired of the yelling and they’d like us to get things done. And, at times, Donald Trump drives me crazy, but he’s produced, and Kavanaugh is the single best legal mind of his generation. Any Republican president would’ve picked him.”
Graham went on to say that Kavanaugh is “equally qualified if not more” qualified than Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan, both of whom were approved for the high court during the Obama administration.
