Mud Wrestling on Capitol Hill

Since when did a Supreme Court nominee Senate hearing become a fraternity pledge hazing ritual? The catcalls, the yelling, the faux outrage, the (phony) threats of disapproval of this morning’s hearing for nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been beyond disgraceful.

Power Line’s Paul Mirengoff has been live-blogging the hearing and a quick read is all you need to get the flavor. If you were there you’d want to bash several someones in the face, with a large, heavy object.

It reads like a revolting spectacle, I haven’t the masochism to watch it on TV. The ‘world’s greatest deliberative body’ today more closely resembles mud wrestling.
