fbi, do you think democrats should accept whatever the fbi ends up presenting in its final report and go to a final vote? well, i wouldn t want to speak for democratic or republican senators who ask for an additional investigation. i think they ll have to assess the product. assess what the fbi produces. what i can say from my own experience, both working for president obama and prior to that, covering president clinton and president george w. bush and their supreme court nominees, is that these are lifetime appointments to the highest court in the land. it s incredible important position, and there are only nine of them, and it s worth taking time to make sure we get the best possible nominee on the court. in president obama s time, that was elaiena kagan and sona sotomayor. their are both excellent justices. . coming up for us, desperation grows in indonesia
tweet, this happened before, for example, i talked to one democrat rank and file senator who said something that really infuriated the leadership it got to them in a nano second, brought into them in a leadership meeting and it changed the internal dynamics. i use it not just to give information out, i also use it to get information. so i ll put up sort of a provocative question on facebook. and people will respond to that. and give me all kinds of ideas. and sort of threads and things to think about that i never even thought about before. so i sort of use it to gather information, sort of the voice of the people, writ small. especially breaking news stories like the gulf story. you tweet it, you read other peerjs you follow it. it s a great way to do it. let s move on to those kagan hearings where a lot of people were tweeting. 18-plus hours in the chair. dana, you were there for most of it, if not all of it. this is elaiena kagan and linds graham talking about an evolving issue i
