1. those guys are slippery

everybody has always known the source of the mean tweets. these loyalists are unlikely to get the pizza delivered.

2. If they were nominated by the felon-in-chief, we know what to expect, an imitation of his behavior

3. maybe some repub senators are realizing that these judges might be judging them

the minute dear leader starts throwing ketchup.

4. And given his losses before even judges who he nominated, his reaction is attacks and threats

That's what Senator Whitehouse was questioning them about.
