Senate hearing explodes over Democrats' subpoena of conservative activists: 'Destroyed' the committee
Fox News
Sen. John Cornyn blasted Sen. Dick Durbin over what he said was him 'destroying' the Senate Judiciary Committee during a hearing that ended with conservative activists being subpoenaed.
The hearing contained several contentious moments, with Republican committee members warning of precedents they said Democrats were setting with their actions. Cornyn fired directly at Durbin after allegedly not allowing Republicans to speak. Joe Schoffstall is a politics producer/reporter for Fox News Digital.

"Mr. Chairman, you just destroyed one of the most important committees in the United States Senate," Cornyn said. "And you set a precedent, which will be repeated every time one party or the other takes advantage and takes the low road. It sets a precedent that will then become the norm."
