the host of "benson and harper," fox news contributor at john summers, former medications leader forry reid, and democratic strategist. there is this letter that services at the 11th hour, the vote is scheduled for september september 20th. they had hours to question, to bring up things on their mind. this letter according to reports was in the hands of senator feinstein since july, according to some of these reports, she didn't mention it, didn't ask about it at the hearing. you know, -- let me ask you. how does this ring for you, this whole story? >> i don't think there is any denying it's unusual. all i can say is i worked with senator feinstein before. i think she's one of those members that does her best to represent her district. she takes her job very seriously. tries to do the very best she can with that job. she's not one of those typically bombastic or pulling stunts. i hope that's not the case in this one. but it's hard to disagree with the fact that it is unusual. it'll be interesting to see what that letter actually contains and why she thought it was important enough to

.>>: =qup anyone at casswitz, benson and -- [inaudible] the law firm -- >> i -- >> be sure about yourrming as that sounded, senator harris never fact, kavanaugh had talked to anyone at the law firm about robert mueller. what do you think was going on with the democrats in this hearing? >> well, i'm not going to impugn the motives of senator harris or senator booker. in fact, i was presiding for senator grassley when senator booker first started his cross-examination of the judge with a dock the unit that was supposed to be -- with a document that was supposed to be confidential. and and i was asked to cut him off. i said, no, i'm not going to cut him off, let's let it rip. cory and senator harris, they want an activist, liberal judge. they want a judge who will rewrite the constitution every other thursday to advance political agendas that they can't get by the voters and a representative democracy through congress. i think that, i think that judges are supposed to call the balls and the strikes, they're supposed to say what the law is, not what the law ought to be. we just disagree.
