Rhetoric claiming Brett Kavanaugh "hates women, hates children" is indicative of an overly political Supreme Court nomination process, Sen. Ben Sasse said Tuesday in his opening statement at Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
"We can and should do better than this," Sasse said. "It is predictable that every confirmation hearing now is going to be an overblown politicized circus, and it is because we've accepted a new theory about how our three branches of government should work, and in particular the judiciary."
"What Supreme Court confirmation hearings should be is an opportunity to go back and do 'Schoolhouse Rock' civics for our kids," he added. "We should be talking about how a bill becomes a law, what the job of article two is, and what the job of article three is."
"So let's try, just a little bit," he asked. "How did we get here, and how can we fix it?"
SEN. BEN SASSE: It is pretty obvious to most people going about their work today that the deranged comments actually don't have anything to do with you, so we should figure out why do we talk like this about Supreme Court nominations now? There is a bunch that is atypical in the last 19-20 months in America. Sen. Klobuchar is right, the comments from the White House yesterday about trying to politicize the DOJ, they were wrong and my guess is Brett Kavanaugh would condemn them.
But the real reason these hearing don't work is not because of Donald Trump, it is not because of anything in the last 20 months. These confirmation hearings haven't worked for 31 years in America. People are going to pretend that Americans have no historical memory and supposedly there haven't been screaming protesters saying women are gonna die at every hearing for decades. This has been happening since Robert Bork. This is a 31-year tradition, there's nothing really new the last 18 months.
So, the fact that the hysteria has nothing to do with you, means that we should ask what is the hysteria coming from? The hysteria around Supreme Court confirmation hearings is coming from the fact that we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the Supreme Court in American life now.
Our political commentary talks about the Supreme Court like they are people wearing red and blue jerseys. That is a really dangerous thing, and by the way, if they have red and blue jerseys I would welcome my colleagues to introduce the legislation that ends lifetime tenure for the judiciary, because if they are just politicians, then the people should have power, and they shouldn't have lifetime appointments. So until you introduce that legislation, I don't believe you really want the Supreme Court to be a politicized body, though that is the way we constantly talk about it now.
We can and should do better than this. It is predictable that every confirmation hearing now is going to be an overblown politicized circus, and it is because we've accepted a new theory about how our three branches of government should work, and in particular the judiciary.
What Supreme Court confirmation hearings should be is an opportunity to go back and do "Schoolhouse Rock" civics for our kids. we should be talking about how a bill becomes a law, what the job of article two is, and what the job of article three is. So let's try, just a little bit. How did we get here, and how can we fix it?

The new Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture’s tagline is “powerful moments in African American history, culture, and community.” However, the museum – with a $540 million price tag funded 50 percent by U.S. taxpayers – doesn’t include many prominent blacks, including Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Edward Brooke, a Republican who became the first African American to be elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote in 1966.
