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

I think you are failing to grasp that the protests are not so much about the nominee but for the railroading to nominate him, the block in of records and the joke of the question and answer process in th confirmation process.

That may be true of the democrats seated for the hearing, but those in the gallery are protesting the nominee. And some of those are actually protesting the guy who nominated him, and the nominee is just collateral damage.

Railroad to nominate him? When Trump was still a candidate, he released a list of judges he'd choose from. That was 2 years ago. The nuclear option, shifting the requirement to a simple majority rather than 60, was initiated by Harry Reid, who presumably thought they'd be in power forever. If you don't like it, you should take it up with Harry Reid.


What's the joke of the question and answer process?

being questioned by Blumenthal & Co. is like having Satan judge you and your character...
