[berni_mccoy]

He’s risking everything!

He just announced now during the hearing.

[malaise]

1. Go Cory

Release them.

[Renew Deal]

2. What kind of docs?

[emulatorloo]

7. Racial profiling

35. Hirono joined Booker

And Democrats backed him.

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. Harris Booker or Booker Harris

Oh god would that be awesome

[NastyRiffraff]

68. I just tweeted the same thing! n/t

[empedocles]

3. Thanks. This DU up to the minute great!

[FM123]

4. Yes!Yes!Yes!

[spanone]

5. He said he would do it even if it meant losing his congressional seat

[femmocrat]

6. Did Cornyn just insult Booker???

Holy crap. Cornyn said that this behavior (not sure what he meant) was unbecoming a member of the Senate.

[berni_mccoy]

15. Durbin just called him out on that

Dems are supporting Booker

[OnDoutside]

17. I think he called him contemptuous. Dick Durbin referred to it but didn't mention a name.

[durablend]

34. That's rich

"Cornyn said that this behavior (not sure what he meant) was unbecoming a member of the Senate. "

Pot calling the kettle black? (no racial pun intended here)

[narnian60]

40. +100

[berni_mccoy]

8. Dems are all standing up.

[lagomorph777]

11. They need to hang together or they shall hang separately.

McConnell would have a very hard time expelling the whole caucus.

[ashling]

66. or WE, the People, shall all hang

[lagomorph777]

71. So true.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Go Cory! As Nike would say... just do it!!

[Jersey Devil]

12. Go for it! All in!!!

Let them throw out the entire Dem delegation to the committee before they hide information that will tarnish Kavanaugh.

[SkyDancer]

13. Damn! GO BOOKER!

[lunasun]

14. He is not even old or ready to leave congress.This is a leap to save SCOTUS;needed on what he knows

It can't go under the rug and Judge K walks into SCOTUS
Booker

[frogmarch]

16. Will anyone read the docs, or

will they fear being expelled too if they do?

[7962]

44. If he releases them, all of US will.

[Uncle Joe]

18. Kudos to Cory Booker!

Thanks for the thread berni mccoy.

[Tipperary]

19. I will believe it when it happens.

Until then it is all talk. Politicians are good at that.

[Achilleaze]

20. Thank you for taking a stand for America, Senator Booker

[demmiblue]

21. ...

[dameatball]

22. If all the Democrats back him, then he cannot be expelled.

[flibbitygiblets]

23. Yes, they needs 2/3 to expel

Fuck any Dem who supports his expulsion.

[47of74]

37. Wouldn't surprise me if Kristen does.

She’s more than willing to throw Democrats under the bus and then drive it over them.

[kag]

47. Good point.

She's already on my shit list. If she does to Cory what she did to Al, I will actively campaign against her.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

57. She's on mine too.

For what she did to Al Franken.

[Fred Sanders]

49. Highly doubtful and incredibly broad brushed, is my comment, frankly.

[flibbitygiblets]

63. Agree completely. Franken's ouster was a rush to judgment over alleged sexual misconduct.

This is entirely different. I know many are still seething at her, and I agree generally, but it doesn't mean she's just blanketly "throwing Dems under the bus".

Given the nature of what Booker is threatening to reveal (racial profiling information related to Kavanaugh), I'm confident all Democratic senators will do the right thing and stand behind Booker.

[scheming daemons]

24. "I am Spartacus!"

[uponit7771]

25. K&R, Good for him !!! Someone willing to put ... SOMETHING ... on the line.

[BadgerMom]

26. Trump and Repubs in the House...

want more info released about the Carter Page FISA inquiry. In an atmosphere where the House Republicans push for constant release of info that will harm the Mueller investigation and our intelligence gathering, it’s very hard to call out Booker. Our defense of him must be muscular.

[awesomerwb1]

27. Wow, ballsy... pardon my English

So what happens if we were to lose Cory?

[Bettie]

60. He runs for president

I guess.

I doubt they can gather the votes to expel him though.

[Croney]

28. Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

[INdemo]

29. now he is not. Senator Dutbin proposed a closed session

and that will take place.Several Democrats (Including the ranking member Feinstein) stood with him and said that if Booker was guilty of disclosing so were they.

I'm impressed with the Democrats showing and caring out this fight..

[berni_mccoy]

30. The documents have been released.

[INdemo]

33. oh.The Democratic Caucus will stand behind him

Republicans broke the procedure rules by classifying those documents allowing a private lawyer and the majority to determine that and not on a bi-partisan basis.

[NoMoreRepugs]

70. A private lawyer associated w King tRumpy no less.

[Pisces]

31. I love Cory Booker!!!

[SWBTATTReg]

32. Ohhh...good! About time to stand up and count for something...sure I know that we don't ...

have the votes but this doesn't mean you can trample all over me, and these republican pieces of shit have been doing just that, and they fail to realize that the democratic senators represent a sizable chunk of America!

What is wrong w/ these idiots and losers (the repugs)?

Watch what happens now, the repub-controlled Senate/House will threaten democrats and thus throw the entire US Congress to the democrats by virtue of these threats...Americans will see the corruption that is festering in the House, right in front of us.

[The Wizard]

36. Democratic Senators

represent the majority of Americans. Unfortunately we live under minority rule.

[True Blue American]

38. This is the

“Sir, have you no shame,” moment.

[mountain grammy]

39. My heartfelt thanks to Senator Booker

And all those supporting him..

[ailsagirl]

41. GO CORY!!!!

[Johnny2X2X]

42. GArland

It's a shame Dems didn't show this much courage when Obama nominated Garland.

[bullwinkle428]

43. One can never give enough K&Rs for hard-fighting Democrats!!

[Nitram]

45. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Desperate times demand desperate actions.

[watoos]

46. First of all

he is not leaking anything, he is only releasing documents that Republicans are hiding.

If anyone should be castigated it should be Republicans who are hiding documents that should be released.

[kag]

48. Cory Booker is a hero!

You GO Cory!

[CanonRay]

50. Hey, this guy ran into a fire on his way to work

McConnell and Cornryn are marshmallows.

[True Blue American]

55. And shoveled snow for shut ins.

Cornyn got nasty with the wrong Senator saying he was not fit to be a Senator.

All Democrats joined Booker, said they would have to eject them all.

Then a little lady from Ha. Joined Booker in releasing the documents.

Yeah Hirono!

Where is Cha at this time?

[Lulu KC]

52. I appreciate that he's doing it

But none of the people who can help block Kavanaugh care about anything except Roe, guns, and making it never OK to indict a sitting president, even one who has committed treason. Oh--wait--I forgot getting reelected, which is a two-word summary. I am Debbie Downer today.

[Kurt V.]

53. I heard some of it on the radio.

after cornyn read the rule booker said "apply the rule then. bring it".

[onetexan]

54. NYT also has the documents

there's another thread already posted with the NYT link

[Meowmee]

56. Good for him

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[onecent]

58. God I love Cory Booker!!!

[TommyCelt]

59. I believe...

...Cory Booker just announced his 2020 Presidential Campaign.

[BumRushDaShow]

61. Link to the docs

(from the LBN thread)

[rockfordfile]

62. Kavanaugh should be in jail

[Honeycombe8]

65. Okay, well... this not-so-interested-in-Booker Democrat has had her head turned.

Now this is someone who takes the bull by the horn. A fighter? Sure looks like it.

Putting Cory Booker on Honeycomb's possible-Presidential-contender category. He's the only one on the list so far.

[orangecrush]

67. K&R!

[appalachiablue]

69. Way to go Cory! Spartacus!!
