pretty much set the rules for the hearings? If so, they will keep them short and compact. There is no way they will let us question her for days and days. Even if every Democrat gives their time time to Senator Harris, that time may be rather short. They don't need any time at all. They know how they are going to vote.

I do agree in theory this is a good strategy, but I don't see the republicans just sitting there and letting it happen.

He lost me then, too. This is a judge who questions the legitimacy of the 14th and 15th amendments, pnwmom Sep 2020 #20
