Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg Laments Atmosphere at Kavanaugh’s Hearing
“The way it was was right. The way it is is wrong,” Ginsburg said. “I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back the way it was.” “Think of Justice Scalia, who’s certainly a known character,” she continued, adding that he was confirmed unanimously. “That’s the way it should be.”

Kavanaugh fight has red state Democrats ducking for cover
In Indiana, Republican challenger Mike Braun’s campaign called on [incumbent Democratic Senator Joe] Donnelly to address the “chaos” at the hearings. “Donnelly’s silence is a reminder that the least effective senator in Washington can’t even advocate for a fair Supreme Court hearing for President Trump’s highly qualified nominee,” said spokesman Josh Kelley. … In North Dakota, the GOP sent out an email following the first day of the hearings: “Heidi Heitkamp may be in more trouble than ever before,” it stated. “Senate Judiciary Democrats and 2020 presidential contenders have decided their own national ambitions matter more than saving Heidi Heitkamp’s failing campaign.”
