Cory Booker tells Republicans threatening his expulsion to 'bring it'

[Swordsmyth]

The Supreme Court (https://www.yahoo.com/news/topics/supreme-court) confirmation hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh turned into a fight over Senate rules Thursday morning, with arguments about the release of confidential documents and threats of the possible expulsion of some members.
“Bring it,” said Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., in response to a threat made Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, that he could be expelled from the Senate if he released documents marked “confidential” to the Senate Judiciary Committee. “Then apply the rule and bring the charges.”
Booker said that he was “knowingly violating the rules” of the Senate and releasing documents that were only made available to senators this week, just before the hearings started. Booker said he would be releasing a document related to Kavanaugh and racial profiling that contained no personal information and was not a national security threat.
Booker’s office later released the document (read it here (https://www.scribd.com/document/387988906/Booker-Confidential-Kavanaugh-Hearing)) in which Kavanaugh was critical of some Department of Transportation affirmative action policies.
“The fundamental problem in this case is that these DOT regulations use a lot of legalisms and disguises to mask what is a naked racial set-aside,” wrote Kavanaugh in the 2003 email.
Cornyn said Booker’s possible 2020 presidential aspirations were his motivation for releasing the document, adding that no senator deserved to sit on the committee if they wanted to be a law unto themselves.

Why is the written legal opinion of a government lawyer confidential?

[Valli6]

Except, they discussed this yesterday - so last night, they cleared the documents to be released. Booker pulled this dramatic stunt, anyway. Want's people to think he's a hero. What a phony.

"I'm Thparticus!"

That indeedy would trigger a special election if done, that might flip the lil ole seat.
Again, influencing any hypothetical SENATE TRIAL vote, down the road. Saw that!

[Aratus]

The files came in sorta like looking like those you get thru FOIA upon asking about a particular UFO?
Like as if this all was done at a SECURITY CLEARANCE level most living Senators don't really have???

Go ahead Booker. Lets see what you got. Bet you won't make it through the primaries.

ROBERT BYRD in his heyday would have asked for & gotten tidy, precise and detailed files. Not bad xeroxes.

Watching Cory Booker's self proclaimed "I am Spartacus" moment was hilarious. Instead, it turned out to be Booker's "I am a Buffoon" moment after release of the supposed bombshell legal analyses emails. Either booker did not even bother to read the legal discussion emails regarding terrorist investigations just after the 9/11 events, or else Cory Booker is functionally illiterate.

In the email memos, Kavanaugh explains, even in the midst of the emotional high of 9/11 events, that the government cannot use racial profiling as method of operation for terrorist security screenings and law enforcement. The only exception being the Supreme Court's "strict scrutiny" standard that allows the government to override fundamental rights if it can establish a necessary "compelling interest" and the methods are "narrowly tailored" solely to that specific interest. This has been the Supreme Court's legal standard the past 80 years, established by FDR's appointees to the court. Outside of Kavanaugh making the personal comment that he is against racial profiling, favoring race neutral security measures, the email memos explain what the law is.

Here are the actual email memos (https://www.scribd.com/document/387988906/Booker-Confidential-Kavanaugh-Hearing).

Humans are creatures of habit. It is hard to abandon strategy that worked so well for the last 8 years. Now it's - "They no longer fall for my schtick? What happened?" :cool:

21 Sep 2018

A Star-Ledger columnist has revisited a piece written by New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, in which he admitted to “groping” a female friend at age 15.
On Thursday, Paul Mulshine asked, “Guess who wrote the following”:


New Year’s Eve 1984 I will never forget. I was 15. As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss. As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next ‘move’ as if it were a chess game. With the “Top Gun” slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my “mark.”

Our groping ended soon and while no “relationship” ensued, a friendship did. You see, the next week in school she told me that she was drunk that night and didn’t really know what she was doing.


Mulshine had cited a portion of a piece written in 1992 by – as he calls him – “our junior U.S. Senator, Cory ‘Spartacus’ Booker,” when the senator was a student at Stanford University.

The column, titled “So Much for Stealing Second,” was apparently written by Booker to highlight his conversion from a 15-year-old who was “trotting around the bases and stealing second” to a “sensitive man” who came to understand women as victims of men’s sexual “power plays.”
