Dems interrupt Kavanaugh hearing, asking that it be adjourned

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democrats repeatedly interrupted the first day of Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings on Tuesday, arguing the confirmation process should be delayed so they could review tens of thousands of documents related to Kavanaugh’s long career in Washington.

Amid jeers from protesters of Kavanaugh in the hearing room — 22 of whom were taken out by security within an hour — Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) rejected requests by Democrats for an adjournment, arguing the minority was simply trying to delay the proceedings.

I shouldn't have to explain to you, we're having a hearing. It's out of order," Grassley told the committee. The 84-year-old senator was at times drowned out by protestors or had to raise his voice to be heard in the packed committee room.

Democrats argued that they hadn't had time to review the more than 42,000 pages of additional documents from Kavanaugh's earlier career that were handed over to the committee on Monday, and that the committee had ignored crucial parts of Kavanaugh's White House record.

1. The Dems should have people in the audience with fold up

signs (to get them past Security). At appropriate times, one person should unfold his/her sign and stand up peacefully showing the sign behind Kavanaugh. Hopefully the tv feed will pick them up an show them.

Signs should be short and right to the point.

Remember the opening see from The Newsroom with Jeff Daniel's character keeps seeing his old girlfriend in the back showing him signs?
