Cory Booker over the New Jersey Democrat's much-mocked invocation of "Spartacus" during last week's confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. “Honorable – if we could use that word about more people who are in public life, people who actually ask the questions at confirmation hearings, instead of 'Spartacus,'” Thomas said, prompting loud laughter in the audience. “But as long as we're looking at our interests, or scoring points, or looking cute, or being on TV ... “We were surprised to learn about Sen. Booker’s histrionics this morning because we had already told him he could use the documents publicly. “All of this drama this morning apparently was for nothing and it’s unfortunate,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters.
