Sen. Grassley wasn’t even through welcoming Brett Kavanaugh, and Sen. Harris immediately interrupted and wouldn’t stop. She begged to be recognized and begged for the entire hearing to be postponed. He ignored her and said they would continue, when ANOTHER Democrat jumped in and whined about how they’ve been denied access to documents. Then, Sen. Blumenthal begged for the hearing to be adjourned. All of that was followed by screaming protesters. It was almost like these Democratic senators were putting on a show specifically for them. It was a sh*tshow.

Kavanaugh hearing has devolved out of control. So many arrests of protesters in the back of the room. No one in the room can hear what is being said on the dais

Grassley ultimately said they’re not hiding documents from the committee and that the assertion is illegitimate. He said they have more material on Kavanaugh than any other justice nominee, so they can chill and grow up.
If you had any doubt that Democrats are nothing more than obstructionist fools, there you go. This is what #resisting looks like, apparently.
