Yesterday and today, I was spellbound by the fiasco. Mitch McConnell was trying his damndest to be himself....so fair it's nauseating and naïve (or complicit). He let the dems give their inane mini-filibusters. Those tirades were mean-spirited and disdainful of Senator Sessions, their colleague and friend.

Then the last dem spolke. That's Al Franken. His tirade was so mean-spirited, so accusatory, that I'd say there's no walking back what was said. Any cooperation with dems should be through, since the other dems didn't comdemn the character assassination Franken spewed. He not only directed his venom to Sessions, he also accused Cruz of all sorts of vicious things, and finally 'pubs on the committee objected because Cruz wasn't in the room. Franken kept going. The things Franken said and the accusations were so bad that every single Republican seemed to stand shoulder to shoulder in support of not just Sessions, but Cruz. (And they don't even like Cruz)

I thought it had a silver lining. Franken over-reached and even the most weak-kneed 'pubs might finally get it together and fight the evil from the other side.

That's my take, anyway. Does anyone else have an opinion about what happened?
