and because Midterms

Like, if you went to a job interview, and you were being interviewed by two managers, and one of the managers kept interrupting the other to tell you that despite the fact that you brought all the paperwork you need and then some, that you should probably reschedule the interview until you can get more paperwork for them... wouldn't you be a little bitter too?

The purpose of Senate confirmation is supposed to be to make sure the guy's of sound mind

well im not saying it was bad for him to be bitter given the context

i just found it interesting

The man barely spoke

Instead, they're pushing political points, trying to make sure he won't threaten their Abortion cases, etc.

This wasn't supposed to be a speaking arrangement for him.

For the entire damn week he's going to have to sit through shit with these guys

50 minutes of questioning from EACH SENATOR.

I don't fucking envy him.

i know they wanted to delay it to after the midterms

and that didnt happen

so the left leaning senators were probably a bit more hard pressed

They keep saying that, despite the fact that they've released more information on this one than ANY previous

That they need to postpone the hearing because they don't have enough.

It's the whiniest bullshit I think I've ever heard.

ok so this man has a long paper trail and they only have like 4 percent of it but its already more paperwork than recent justices?

They're insisting on getting ALL of the paperwork from his time serving under President Bush

President Bush gets executive privilege over that paperwork, because it was HIS paperwork and not the judicial candidate's.

so bush isnt releasing it?

A bitch aint it

They require his porn history, for research purposes

That's tangential to the issue.

They're putting forward a standard of information and time requirement that is impossible, simply to try to delay.

None of it comes across as sincere.

and they were saying "republicans are trying to hide something"

They interrupted the chairman 4 seconds into the hearing to move to adjourn.

Literally four seconds.

oh wow they need a good slap to the face

no respect at all

And they've got 'so much information they can't read it all in such a short time'...

Every 4 seconds somebody *dies* they need to move fast to save as many lives as they can.

I say they need to confirm the senator to know what his positions are, away from the fog of controversy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV-05TLiiLU

i remember this

i literally dont know what to say to this

You need to have sex with me to find out if I have an STD

thats almost criminal i bet

Are you STD shaming?

if the bill wasnt on the congressional website

It's only a misdemeanor in California.
