Dems execute plan to scream and raise objections to disrupt confirmation hearing

If you've ever wondered why republicans in congress can rarely get anything done, just watch the senate judiciary hearings on nominee Kavanaugh.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley was just seconds into his opening remarks before Democratic senator (and likely Dem presidential candidate) Kamala Harris interrupted to object to the committee just receiving a batch of 42,000 documents relating to the nominee’s previous work.   “We cannot possibly move forward,” Harris said.

Grassley said Harris's objection was “out of order,” but other Democrats chimed in to back up Harris, including Democrat Richard Blumenthal, who moved to adjourn the confirmation hearing.

Harris's interruption was followed by a rapid-fire string of similar objections by other Democrats, joined by shouting and screaming from the gallery as Dem protestors interrupted the session.  And under questioning from a GOP member during the session, leading Dem Dick Durbin admitted that the entire disruption--from both members and spectators--had been carefully planned during a phone call on Monday.

Democrats have a great strategy there:  Block and disrupt the constitutionally-mandated business of the senate.  Which they always do whenever they can if they're not in control.

Yeah, sounds like a definite winner there.  In fact, sounds like a great reason to vote to give them majority control of the House in November.  Not.
