I just think it's a hint that Booker plans on being real loud during hearings. One of his assignments:Committee on the Judiciary.

And should the Dems regain the Congressional majority, keep in mind that judges too can be impeached.

And what happens if he doesn

And what happens if he doesn't? Sue him? Write a bad op-ed about him? Tweet protest?

(Senator Corey) Booker calls on Kavanaugh to recuse himself on Trump-related cases

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) is calling on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to recuse himself from any cases that might involve special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

“To avoid the prospect that President Trump could effectively choose a judge in his own case, I request that you pledge to recuse yourself from any cases related to the Special Counsel’s investigation and any that otherwise may immediately impact the President and his associates as it relates to the ongoing criminal investigation should you be confirmed,” Booker said in a letter to Kavanaugh on Friday.

“The American public must have full confidence that the integrity of any decisions handed down by the Supreme Court on these matters will not be tainted by any impropriety or the appearance of impropriety from the President’s selection of you.”
