Dick Durbin Admits: Democrats Plotted to Disrupt Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court Hearing
Breitbart ^ | September 4, 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) admitted Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court that he and other Democrats participated in a conference call on how to disrupt the hearings.

[Snip]

The hearing had already been disrupted several times by protesters - led by the anti-Trump and Democrat-aligned Women’s March, which claimed credit - and several senators also interrupted proceedings with interjections.

The hearing eventually settled into opening statements, though protests continued.

Durbin later praised the protesters: "What we've heard is the noise of democracy."

Why don't they simply flee the city, like their state counterparts do when they don't want to vote on the losing side?

Plot?

Oh no..... the leftist Senators and their money sources colluded to disrupt governance.

The Democrats in the Senate and the screaming wackos are guilty of obstruction of governance

Who was the ‘rat Senator that was indignant when the Dems were accused of organizing the protest?

Yes, this is exactly what a democracy looks like.

However; we are a Representative Republic.

“Durbin later praised the protesters: “What we’ve heard is the noise of democracy.”

And this is reason #7589 why we live in a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy!

And, even a proper democracy rules by voting, not screaming.

It’s been mostly ‘muted’ while I’ve been watching, but the best part is the defeated RAT aids in the background, every time a RAT speaks - they look like Hillary just lost all over again !!!

The theatrical, juvenile disruptions are a show meant to show their crazy base that they indeed are of the same, mind, temperament and disposition. They all ought to put on Antifa masks when they walk out before the vote.

"What we've heard is the noise of democracy."

Nope. Just the noise toddlers with TDS make when they aren't getting their way.

Give them a bottle and then put them to bed in their cribs.

After this Judge is seated; don’t these leftists know he will well remember the abuse he went through by them? He won’t care that it’s all theater. He will remember his kids running out from embarrassment and his own anger and disgust.

This is going to backfire on these idiot leftists hard and when it does I bet it leaves a mark.
