Spartacus has returned!
An enraged Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) shouted over Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for eight straight minutes Thursday before joining his fellow Democrats in storming out of a business meeting to consider President Trump’s nominees — including his former personal attorney, Emil Bove.
Booker threw a fit after Grassley spurned his request to debate Bove’s nomination to the Philadelphia-based Third Circuit Court of Appeals and proceeded with a vote to report the nominee to the Senate floor after Democrats vacated the meeting room.
“I don’t understand this,” Booker raged. “What are you afraid of, about even debating this, putting things on the record, hearing from every senator?”
“Dear God. That’s what our obligations are,” he continued. ” … There’s no need to rush this.”
“You are obligated to address a point of order according to the rules of this committee,” the Garden Stater went on. “You can overrule me by a Senate vote. You’re violating your own rules.”
Grassley rebuffed Booker, telling him he was “out of order” for interrupting proceedings.
Democrats had wanted to hear from a whistleblower, fired former Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni, who alleged Bove encouraged the Trump administration to ignore a court order.
According to Reuveni, Bove, while serving as principal deputy attorney general, insisted that migrant flights to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) complex “take off no matter what” after a federal judge ordered them halted.

Booker is aroused? Ick.
Hey, it worked for Khrushchev.
Corey Booger should not be respected.
If I ever hear that a Senator went postal and started shooting up the Senate, Booker would be the first name to come to mind. He’s a little too on edge and emotional.
How many Spartacus moments can one endure?
Another tantrum from the Democrat brats.
Cory was upset the process did not give the Dims enough TV time. For the Dims Congressional hearings have one and only one objective - delivering TV time to their friends in the media.
Way to negotiate there, Senator Booker. Real class and sure to convince the Republican majority you are a skilled and gracious loyal opposition.
Pointless, empty gestures are a rat specialty.
Typical Democrat hissy fit throwing...
Nothing more masculine, mature, and respectable than throwing a hissy it.
Well, he'll just have to return his Spartacus costume then.
Is Booker not a girl in real life?
Thought he was gay.
a mean girl.
Actress Rosario Dawson played the role of Booker’s girlfriend last time he needed one.
With a dick?
Chuckle.
From the 1950’s, soon each Congressional hearing will have the first question of each witness “Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Democrat Party?”
