Do they typically bring them to confirmation hearings?
How do you think he explained Trump’s actions and political speech to his children?

His young daughters were rushed out of the room, and you can't condemn it. Amazing.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is very strong in you.

He doesn't have to explain Trump's actions to his children. Are you responsible for what your CEO does? Put down the Kool Aid, take a breath, and think for a moment. The liberal agitators forced this man's young children to be rushed out of the room.

How many arrests were made at the confirmation hearings of racist maniac Sotomayor? Or Kagan?

4 arrests. compared to what, 80 atbthe kavanaugh hearings? at sotomayors and kagans hearings, how many times did delicratsbget rushed out of the room for safety reasons?

it’s not isolated pete. look at what happened at tea party rallies during the early days, compared to occupy wall street, black lives matter, and now antifa. look at what happens when conservatives get invited to speak at colleges, compared to what happens when liberals try to speak. my side doesn’t riot like your side does, when we don’t get what we want. not everyone in my side is good, not everyone in your side is bad. but in terms of tactics used, and who resorts to mayhem and feral rioting? no comparison. none. and you know it.

Pisses off the old white men, doesn't it?
Maybe far more people care about this
Better go burn your sneakers and smash your coffeemaker
I was going to post a youtube video of Baby Donnie Bonespur aka John Baron leading one of his "rallies" , calling his justice department fake, the media liars, calling for the arrest of political rivals, not prosecuting his cohorts and all the believers chanting.
But that is all fine with you as long as you get what you want, you can't believe that anyone who is not on that wagon is not liberal.
They have the right to do it just like McConnell had the right to not hold hearings for Merrick Garland.

Aren't you the one who constantly compares something Clinton or Obama said once to what Trump says hundreds of times as if they are the same yet this is somehow different?

I think the Protesters are failing to grasp that they look silly, and generally do more harm than good, particularly when they decry there is no decorum and then they go and decorum.

^^^^ It really doesn't matter who was there and who recommended the appointment. The protest would happen regardless

No, I am the one who constantly says that Trump is unique in terms of how crass and vindictive he is.

It's UNBELIEVABLE. They can never, ever criticize their own side. It's Kavanaugh's fault for bringing his kids to the biggest event of his life, a place where obviously kids should feel safe.

Oddly enough they later returned to the hearing as usual Faux has turned it into something it’s not
There’s an amendment that came before the one you so staunchly defend that gives us the right to political speech. Sometimes it’s not pretty

I didn’t make a judgment, I asked a question
Who was the lunatic right wing person escorted out of the Twitter hearing, but Faux didn’t cover that

Trump is not Kavanaugh's would be boss. If I was going to Congress for something as rare and fantastic as that I would bring my kid too.

But maybe we need to look at it now as the default state of Dems is protesting.

As bad as Trump has been at many things (and it is bad) I don't really believe that if anyone else had been there the protests would be the same. They would protest Romney if hew was Pres.

Any kids, regardless of their parent's political leaning should be safe in those halls

"If I was going to Congress for something as rare and fantastic as that I would bring my kid too."

Who wouldn't?

"the default state of Dems is protesting."

Unless they get exactly what they want.

"They would protest Romney if hew was Pres."

There would certainly be some protests. But this is a perfect storm for them. The GOP denied Obama's pick a hearing, Trump is especially despised, and Kavanaugh's selection (unlike Gorsuch) is likely to cause a meaningful shift in the makeup of the court. In all honesty, I'd be furious if I was a liberal. I wouldn't be throwing a temper tantrum in public, but I'd be extremely concerned.
