So he looks fairly bored by Kagan, and blinks three times in a ten-second stretch.
Okay. Yes, not the display of a stellar student, but certainly not the "OH MY GOD HE'S NAPPING ON THE JOB!!!!!one! that I was led to expect when pointed here.
@jlhlinnell Just be honest about what it is, don't try to stand up for the guy. He did not blink 3 times in 10 seconds. Any human knows just from their own experience he was dozing off. He was falling asleep. Note the way his eyes closed slowly and then popped open. I'm not saying it's that big of a deal but don't try to convince me that he just blinked when that clearly isn't the case.
Notice how all the Republicans commenting don't respond when its pointed out Franken isn't even nodding off in the video? It tells you a lot about the personal character of regular, everyday Republicans. Systematically lying might work for public relations, but it makes for terrible governance. Look at the Republican Congress from '95 to '07.
I don't blame him. These hearings are a waste of time. She knows exactly how she's going to vote on cases they ask her about, but she lies and says she can't prejudge them. She will ignore the Constitution and just create new federal laws that conform to her liberal political views.

he was as we say "dozing off'. you know. going to sleep, then catching himself and waking himself up. Undoubtedly because he knew he might be on TV!

I would ask how the people of Minnesota ever elected this man to office but actually, they didn't.

Franken has no business being a U.S. lawmaker, as this woman has no business being a SCJ. I did think Franken's sketch was pretty good though.
