text: I watched the confirmation hearing all day Tuesday on C-SPAN3.  Mazie Hirono, having quite low seniority, got her turn to question Gorsuch late in the day.  I've always known that Mazie is far-left in her views and rather "slow" in her mental abilities.  But Tuesday I was terribly embarrassed for myself and for Hawaii, watching my Senator.  She kept repeating the well-worn Democrat talking points which Gorsuch had already responded to eloquently and at length.  And in the end she rebuked Gorsuch for not answering questions, even though Gorsuch had explained many times why a judge is not allowed to disclose his personal views on cases he might later be called to rule upon.  So stooopid "our" Mazie.  So far left.  So sad she is "my" Senator.  Well, at least she didn't being up her favorite topic -- how her mother fled an abusive husband in Japan and immigrated to Hawaii carrying Mazie in her arms.  I kept waiting for it with my barf bowl at the ready.
