Anonymous letter, you cant test it unless somebody comes forward with more information but if i get a chance to meet i have to bring that up. >> your fellow senate democrats had this information in late july, didnt do anything about it and leaked it a few days ago, as far as i can tell they didnt do anything during the hearing process including the closed session. do you have issues with how your fellow democrats have handled this allegation? >> i think it should have been brought up at least be...

It, and leaked it a few days ago. as far as i can tell, they didnt do anything in the hearing process, including behind closed doors, closed session and the written answers. do you have any issues with how your fellow democrats have handled this allegation? >> i think it should have been brought up, at least behind closed doors. its a really serious allegation. at the same time, its a very difficult situation when youve got allegations like this, very sensitive allegations that are important and...

Of course her identity was not known until this sunday, today, when she did decide that quite frankly she was experiencing the ramifications of her decision anyway because her name had leaked to the news media. theres a lot of focus on how feinstein handled the allegations because the result was this was not considered as part of the hearing process. it was not something that came up on the open session or closed session or in the many meetings the senator had with judge kavanaugh. judge kavanau...

So much for being on the show. i agree with that. i was open-minded, joe, about the system of trying to get these judges through the hearing process, and when a president has won they do have the right to make these choices. but if this guy cant even answer basic questions about human decency and what our constitution is about, i do think there may be a fight ahead for sure. and president obama put it best, really, when he was speaking on friday, and really pointing out that we have lost a sense...

Now. good morning. thom tillis stuff desperate stunts. what was it? >> a lot of desperate stunts and show theater around here. we have too much soap opera in american politics. we should do a smaller stuff and stop with the theater. the hearing process has been great that brett kavanaugh did a wonderful job. he has answered questions in the way judges should. cautious, not giving signals of how he will rule in the future. these hearings have been unproductive for the american people in the sense...

Information that was given to the president during the time he was president of the united states and that somehow he is unable to make a claim of privilege or that once the claim is made in consultation with his private lawyer that that would be not respected by the senate is outrageous. and so i just -- i thought we were doing pretty well yesterday. but things went off the rails it looks like last night. and i hope we will return to a hearing process that respects the rules of the senate and t...

Repeated interruptions were not helpful to the case. that they are trying to make, i do think it reflects an anger that they have over america garland, he had eight months before the election and could n. it is an expression of that anger. i do think that this entire hearing process has been completely broken and it is weakening performance art at this point. we do not get anything out of the hearings and i think that it is time for the democrats and republicans in the spirit that you were allud...

That they are trying to make, i do think it reflects an anger that they have over merrick garland, he had eight months before the election and could not get a hearing. it is an expression of that anger. i do think that this entire hearing process has been completely broken and it is winking performance art at this point. we do not get anything out of the hearings and i think that it is time for the democrats and republicans in the spirit that you were alluding to at the upset that john mccain sp...
