Prior generations had circus clowns. We have Democrat politicians like the cartoonishly performative Corey Booker.
Earlier this year, Booker set a record with a 25-hour 5-minute filibuster that fittingly ended on April Fool’s Day. He followed this up yesterday by shouting at length about his opposition to a Trump judicial appointment while Republicans calmly proceeded with business.
Via Fox News:
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to advance President Donald Trump’s former defense attorney Emil Bove to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, clearing his nomination out of the committee to the full Senate for a vote.
Bove must be an excellent choice to get this reception from Democrats:
The narrow vote came after roughly an hour of sharp debate from Democrats on the panel, who stormed out of the committee room shortly before the vote was held. Sens. Cory Booker, D-NJ, and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-[RI], had unsuccessfully urged Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa to allow for more time to consider Bove’s nomination, citing concerns made by a former Justice Department attorney and whistleblower, Erez Reuveni.
Bove already underwent a lengthy confirmation hearing last month. However, a favorite Democrat tactic is to stall, stall, and continue to stall until they can regain power and get back to packing the judiciary with James Boasberg types.
In the end, their appeal was unsuccessful, and Booker joined Democrats on the panel in walking out of the room before the vote was held.
Spoilt children don’t like it when they don’t get their way. But it won’t be a total loss if Booker can turn this into a lucrative book deal, as he did with his marathon filibuster stunt.
Imagine trying to work together with these people as if they were adults:
Big round of applause goes out to Sen Grassley for ignoring Cory Booker and getting the appt of the Hon Emil Bove for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals voted out of Committee
The louder they scream, the better I feel
