The biggest lesson from the #KavanaughHearings is that Americans are fools if they passively rely on the Supreme Court or Senate to protect their liberties

Posthumous winner from the Kavanaugh Supreme Court frenzy – Historian Henry Adams, who long ago labeled politics “the systematic organization of hatreds”

One of the biggest frauds in Washington is that ""Coverups never last," as @SenWhitehouse claimed today. Most federal coverups succeed which is why so few top govt. officials are in prison today.

Democratic demands for an FBI investigation of charges against Kavanaugh would be much easier to support if @SenFeinstein & others had not been so conniving with Ford's allegation

On the bright side, at least today's Senate #KavanaughHearings helped restore Americans' faith in their political system.

Vietnam War hero @SenBlumenthal is not too swift to invoke the "false in one thing, false in all things" legal maxim #KavanaghHearing

Kavanaugh making all these references to weight lifting. Do we know how much he bench pressed? This could swing a couple Senate votes #KavanaughHearings

The five-minute rule for congressional hearings is one of the best rules Washington ever devised for preventing the disclosure of truth. Janet Reno played it better than anyone #KavanaughHearings

Surprised that @SenFeinstein totally embraced the Swetnick "10 gang rape parties" charge – by far the shakiest allegation out there #KavanaughHearings

Personally, I think the #KavanaughHearings optics would be better if he was taking occasional puffs on a stogie instead of clutching a water glass

Kavanaugh was a cornerback for his high school football team. Dude might have a different persona if he'd been a linebacker #KavanaughHearings

Kavanaugh asks for a break in the hearings. In old-time boxing lingo, this would be when the "cut man" in the corner patches him up & gives him smelling salts #KavanaughHearings

Watching a congressional hearing searching for facts, hard not to think of the old line about a blind squirrel finding his nuts. #KavanaughHearings

I recall covering the weeks of the House 1995 Waco hearings; lots of damning info came out piecemeal but press focused instead on Janet Reno's demeanor. #KavanaughHearings https://t.co/vkqQYjJaFf

.@SenatorLeahy also embraces Swetnick allegations – this is a domino that could fall #KavanaughHearings

Does anyone have a prediction on what will be the biggest surprise at the Senate Kavanaugh hearing later this morn?
