Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) submitted an unsuccessful motion to subpoena Mark Judge before a confirmation vote for Brett Kavanaugh at the start of the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Friday.
He called it the committee’s “constitutional duty” to hear from the classmates that Christine Blasey Ford alleges was present when Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted her in high school.
The motion was swiftly defeated.

This would be the place where you give the vote totals, or “on party lines” or something.
Also, Blumenthal was still speaking in favor of his motion when Grassley told the clerk to call the roll. It failed 10 to 11 along party lines.
Hey, who has any need for supporting evidence?
see if you yell and slam things, you get your way
it might give people pause because it shows a lack of judgement and poor reasoning skills, things you’d want in a judge…
but still, it’s worth it to keep a russian agent in power
if hillary had acted this way in front of any of her committee rake-overs, I"m sure the entire senate would have stood up and applauded
