I'm lucky enough to have the day off on a rainy day to sit and watch the first day. My take so far:
Democrats, as usual, got the memo - find (or make up - who knows how true they are) examples where the ACA has saved a life. In other words, jerk at the heartstrings of the American people. Call out past republicans' words on nominating a justice during a election year. Essentially, they are talking to the American people and doing so very effectively.
Republicans, as usual, are talking about past cases that have no relevance or meaning to the American people. They're ignoring past comments democrats have made about election-year nominations. Essentially, they are failing to make a strong case for why this nomination is not only constitutional, but necessary.
If this is going to be the tone of the confirmation process, republicans will look like, as usual, the weak-kneed legislative body they are.
