a run for the president. was it a stunt? the amusing thing about that is what cornyn first said, he threatened me with expulsion. he was doing that because last night i broke the senate rules by reading from that e-mail. and then today throughout the entire day, this is not just about one e-mail, i ve already released over 20 committee confidential documents in violation of what they say are the senate rules in which cornyn said i should be expelled for. so according to cornyn s rules, it s a lot of talk, a lot of bluster right now. i am breaking the rules. but i was raised and taught that an unjust law, you almost have an obligation to stand against it. so i am violating those laws. i have been doing all day, and it was an unjust law. you see there s no consequence. they will not move to expel me from the senate for violating the committee confidential rules and i will continue to do so because i believe the public has the right to know where he stands on these issues.
you see there s no consequence. they will not move to expel me from the senate for violating the committee confidential rules and i will continue to do so because i believe the public has the right to know where he stands oft stands on these issues. bill burke said he cleared the documents before 4:00 a.m. per your staff s request and that they had told you you could use them publicly. grassley s office also confirmed you were told that the restrictions on the documents had been waived before you spoke today. so how do you square that with the idea that with what you ve said? well, i square that very easily. number one, last night i broke the rules before they then they scrambled to release the document. but i continue to release documents. i ve released 20 so far that they have not cleared. i am breaking the rules. i am breaking the sham rules. 20 documents if you check my twitter feed. anybody in the public now can have access to the ones they wanted to hide. they haven t cle
this breaking news on day three of senate hearings in court, new jersey senator cory booker pushed judge kavanaugh whether he would recuse himself and whether booker would risk expulsion from the senate as to e-mails he sent out as committee confidential. i knowingly violated the rules that were put forth and i m told that the committee confidential rules have knowing consequences. so, sir, i come from a long line, as all of us do as americans and understand what that kind of civil disobedience is. i understand the consequences. i am right now before your process is finished, i will release the e-mail about racial profiling. i understand the penalty comes with potential ousting from the senate. if senator cornyn believes i have violated senate rules i openly invite and accept the
would break senate rules to kavanaugh and said you were willing to risk expulsion to do that and now the republicans said the documents had been the amusing thing about that is what cornyn first said, he threatened me with expulsioexpu. he was doing that because last night i broke the senate rules by reading from that e-mail. and then today throughout the entire day, this is not just about one e-mail, i ve already released over 20 committee confidential documents in violation of what they say are the senate rules in which cornyn said i should be expelled for. so according to cornyn s rules, it s a lot of talk, a lot of bluster right now. i am breaking the rules. but i was raised and taught that an unjust law, you almost have an obligation to stand against it. so i am violating those laws. i have been doing all day, and it was an unjust law.
up to me and clear those as well. today, though, earlier had those been cleared and did you know those had been cleared? again, when i broke the committee rules last night, those documents had not been cleared. at the end of the day, do you have any reason to believe that kavanaugh is not going to get the votes for confirmation? um, i don t. but, again, what my duty is, is to try to properly vet this candidate so that i can give advice and consent. it s written in the constitution. and to properly vet somebody, you should have the fullness of their record. for some reason, the fullness of their record is being hidden from the american public. we only have about 10% of these documents. 90% of his résume is being hidden. i pushed documents out about a lot of different things today against the rules of the senate against the rules, excuse me, of the committee. that s just the tip of the iceberg. that s just a drop in the bucket of the totality of the documents out there that th
