Grassley: Senators will have 5 MINUTES each to ask questions.

Our entire government is a complete farce.

Hiring an attorney from Arizona, limiting questions to 5 minutes per Senator, no investigation, and no witnesses. The republicans have turned this country into a banana republic.

I hope the democrats on the committee make a stink like their lives depend on it.

Totally unreasonable for angry Democrats to insist on wasting the precious time of the illustrious, chaste, virgin, girls'-basketball-coaching nominee. That just takes time away from a lifetime appointment to do battle with the Demons (no Rs included)!

This shit has to stop.
