Cory Booker was the first Senator to say a President under investigation shouldn’t get a SCOTUS nominee. Now he’s risking his own ass to release Kavanaugh documents Republicans were trying to hide. He’s been the Democratic MVP of this Supreme Court process.

Cory Booker, risking possible Senate Expulsion in order to provide this nation with the transparency our Constitution affords us, is nothing short of heroic.
This appears to be a turning point, where Democrats finally do whatever it takes to defend America from a runaway party.
