Having watched Senator Booker’s performance again, it is clear that he has either never seen Spartacus or, is a moron.
The “I am Spartacus” moment in the film is when Spartacus was being shielded from being identified. Senator “Look at me” was all about throwing the spotlight on himself.

I always thought his followers were saying “I’m willing to die for the cause too” Could be. However, as we know, and he knew, there was no cause and no chance of death. It was rank grandstanding.

There's no could be about it Elvado, they weren't trying to shield his identity, remember he stood up 1st.. Booker was grandstanding, the same way the great majority of politicians do.. Was his cause legit though? Seems to me he used the analogy correctly since other senators were willing to sacrifice themselves(symbolically) for the cause too.. Have you seen the movie Elvado?

However, as we know, and he knew, there was no cause and no chance of death. It was rank grandstanding. Counterpoint #1: Cory Booker is above the rules and the law. Ladies and gentlemen, your Democratic nominee presumptive. Counterpoint #2 : Cornyn yesterday threatening expulsion from the Senate and contempt: The fact that Republicans weren't willing to follow through on those threats when their bluff was called because these documents had no reason to be confidential is why you've changed to the goalposts on the other side of the field. If you think there was no chance of any repercussion, Cornyn's the one who is grandstanding. It's pretty instructive here that you think the biggest issue with yesterday is some comparison to Spartacus though and not the misclassification of documents to hide them from the public and the fact that Republicans were willing to threaten to boot someone from the Senate to hide them.

I agree wholeheartedly with these posts. People who seekhigh office should release everything about their background when they ask for the confidence of the nation. Kavanaugh’s records, Teump’s tax return runs, everything from someone’s Past should be laid bare for review. Or what I meant to say is Republicans should be able to withhold any document they want because Chuck Grassley said so... What a difference a day makes...

Did anyone else get a chuckle out of Mitch McConnell threatening an ethics investigation?

Of course not, but except for Putin, Clinton checks them all as well. Good President—awful human. Ready—Trump is worse but Bill Clinton was an amoral scumbag as well.

If you feel that way, why do you mostly bash Clinton and mostly defend Trump... sometimes by bashing Clinton? I recall you saying you vote your wallet but Clinton was better for you there also...

It won't matter, but it should..
NYT: Brett Kavanaugh Can’t Be Trusted. A perfect nominee for a president with no clear relation to the truth.
This is a fact.

Trending down into the 30s. "Everbody knows it" to paraphrase moron Trump. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromoQunnipiac Poll: American voters give President Trump his lowest grade for honesty since he was elected, saying 60 - 32 percent that he is not honest. Trump gets low grades on most character traits: 57 - 38 percent that he does not have good leadership skills; 55 - 41 percent that he does not care about average Americans; 65 - 30 percent that he is not level-headed; 57 - 39 percent that he is a strong person; 51 - 42 percent that he is intelligent; 60 - 33 percent that he does not share voters' values; 55 - 41 percent that he is not fit to serve as president; 48 - 42 percent that he is mentally stable.
