Senator Al Franken naps and doodles during Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan....
Cameramen allowed in the Supreme Court nomination hearings caught MN Senator Al Franken (D) appearing to be asleep. When he was awake, he was doodling Sen. Jeff Sessions, (which was very good, actually), which was also caught on tape. (To see the drawing, go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/29/franken-sketches-sessions_n_629335.html)
What do you think? Do you think he was succumbing to the hearings being boring and grueling to sit through? Or do you think it was a sign of disrespect for the proceedings and the selection process? Should he be removed from the Judiciary Committee. Or is this no big deal?

Franken's a Democrat, which meant he was likely going to rubber-stamp Kagan. While she may have needed to give that speech...who hasn't seen someone nodding off during a pastor, minister or rabbi's lengthy sermon? I go with "Succumbing to boredom. "
Disrespectful, perhaps, but not intentionally. You try sitting through a day of Senate hearings.
