Barr hearing marks first time Senate Judiciary has GOP women serving on panel

Two female Republican senators are serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee for the first time in the history of the panel.

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) kicked off their first hearing on the panel on Tuesday, attending the high-profile hearing on President Trump's nomination of William Barr to serve as his next attorney general.

Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) welcomed Blackburn and Ernst to the committee in their opening remarks.

"To Sen. Blackburn and Ernst, thank you for making history, at least on our side," Graham said.

And between the two of them, there's only 3/4 of a functioning cerebral cortex.

Neither one of them was as bad as I thought they might be, but they only asked questions about emotional issues that would make him (and them) look good. No real interrogation, but then, why would GOP do that anyway?
