Its all fact and it is what it is.

Frankly, I am glad to see the Democrats and Protesters fighting hard and pointing out the issues and partisanship. And frankly the truth about the (Anti)Republic Party

To me it's a fight for transparency.
It's a fight to get to the truth about this nominee in the public sphere.
It's a fight against those who favor secrecy.

Much bigger than partisanism.

It's sad that it's come to this - that a partisan Supreme Court nominee is being touted by partisan Senators as someone who should be confirmed.
