party be treated with kid gloves, when we have seen the process that's happened so far in these hearings where there were the antics of senator spartacus booker, who was trying to showboat during the hearings, 200-plus protesters standing up and being arrested, senator harris's really shameful attempts to edit his remarks and misconstrue what he was saying, as well as her fishing expedition, suggesting she had information that she didn't. if there's anyone i'm worried about misbehaving at the hearings, it's not the republicans. they have been very respectful of the witnesses on both sides of the aisle during this and there were quite a few other witnesses. i am very worried that this is going to turn into another circus like we saw the previous hearings. that's something that has turned off the women republican senators, like senator collins, who was very discouraged by seeing that process. last week, she has seen threats to her own staff and herself to this process. this has turned very ugly politically and she's been very critical of dianne feinstein, how she's handled this, as well.
