Day 3 of Kavanaugh hearing begins w/@CoryBooker vowing to release confidential Kavanaugh emails -- even if it means he's ejected from the Senate!

"I openly accept the consequences. I am releasing it to expose that emails being withheld have nothing to do the national security."

4. What's the rule on that?

How many Senate votes does it take to eject a sitting senator?

6. A two-thirds vote

The United States Constitution gives the Senate the power to expel any member by a two-thirds vote. This is distinct from the power over impeachment trials and convictions that the Senate has over executive and judicial federal officials.

5. I'm Really Starting To Like Cory Booker

It's about time Democrats started playing dirty too. If the Republicans can change the rules to favor themselves at every turn, we have to respond in kind. That's why I fully support leaking documents (those that don't compromised national security) to the media for publication. And when the Republicans try to block the Mueller Report from being released, I hope the Mueller team leaks it to the media Pentagon Papers style too. F these guys. It's time we started punching back. They want to make a farce of appointing a Supreme Court Justice (because let's face it, there could be documentary PROOF that Kavanaugh is Hitler reincarnated and the Republicans would all vote for him anyway--they abandoned anything resembling morality or duty to country a long time ago), then I say we blacken their eyes in the process.

9. Malcom Nance said on "Real Time" that if Mueller is fired or the Mueller report is

hidden, then he would expect truckloads of documents to be surreptitiously dumped in front of the New York Times building.
