Sen. Graham good morning. I appreciate you being here promptly. As you know, our Democratic Politics informed the committee they will not participate in the hearing. That was their choice. It will be my choice to vote the nominee out of committee. We are not going to allow them to take over the committee. They made a choice not to participate after allowing judge judgeour days merrick four days to be questioned. I thought she did an exceptionally good job of handling the questions. I thought she was aggressively challenged, but not inappropriately. I want to complement my democratic colleagues for not going down the kavanaugh road. I want to complement the republican members for asking questions that matter to you, but showing a tremendous amount of discipline to make sure that on our side the hearing went well. Each of you, when this is over, hope you feel like a sense of accomplishment. This is why we all run. It is moments like this that make everything you go through matter. Wherem

President trump has said he would only nominate someone who would overturn the Affordable Care act, taking away Health Care Protections for more than 100 million americans. In the middle of a pandemic. And both President Trump and members of the majority on this committee have said they would only vote for a nominee who would overturn roe v. Wade. As i will lay out in my questioning this week, we should not be having this hearing with two members of the committee infected with covid. It is rushed, it constitutes court packing, and her views are too extreme to qualify her to serve on this court. If youre elected, will you try to change one of the three branches of government by adding justices to the c
