“These baseless charges are unfair,” Durbin says of GOP charges that Judge Jackson is “soft on crime.” He adds Hawley accusations on her approach to sex offenders “fly in the face” of GOP vows to keep the proceedings civil. pic.twitter.com/qOrpUlcboC

Of course, Republicans owe Durbin and his party nothing of the sort. After all, it’s been less than four years since one of the most disturbing, disgusting congressional and media spectacles in US history: The Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
We all remember the eleventh-hour letter brought forth by Sen. Dianne Feinstein that blew up Kavanaugh’s nomination process. We remember the fact that Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s chief accuser, couldn’t provide any corroborating details, including not being able to even say where the supposed rape occurred all those decades ago. We remember the Julie Swetnick travesty where mainstream news outlets ran with wild tails of gang rape brought by a client of now-felon Michael Avenatti. We remember the tortured performance of Sheldon Whitehouse talking about “boofing” and quizzing Kavanaugh on his high-school yearbook. We even remember when Democrat protesters broke into and occupied the Senate office building, something that would have been labeled an insurrection had it been accomplished by Republicans.
After claiming that Kavanaugh was the ringleader of a roving gang of serial rapists, and accusing Barrett of belonging to a secret Handmaid's Tale cult, the Democrats are now concerned that Republicans are treating their SCOTUS nominee unfairly
