EVERY speaker focused on that. No Republican was spared last night. Especially by Amy Klobuchar. Her disdain for the extremists on the Judiciary Committee was well noted. She tore Ted Cruz a new one.

Hakeem Jeffries invoked the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the response Benjamin Franklin gave to a Mrs. Powell about what was created. "A Republic. If you can keep it."
