The R's have bent over backwards for CBF and she has stepped all over them, but I don't think they did this because the lacked a spine, they did it for optics.   CBF does not look, act, or comport herself like someone that wants to get to the truth.   As for Hirono, she is a complete idiot; she cannot really believe what she is saying, and if she does, does she think it make her look good?    Sad, this circus has gotten out of hand and needs to end this week.
