Hearing

[Leawood]

Durbin and Klobuchar are establishing that the nominee believes some felons deserve to bear arms but do not have to vote.

Of course she should. If she had any principle(s) beyond some combination of (a) naked ambition to prestige (I want to sit on the Supreme Court, reputation be damned) and (b) naked ambition to power (I want to apply my far-right views, reputation be damned), she would withdraw out of fear for being (rightly) viewed as tainted, for the entire duration of her stay on the Court.

nothing like having the support of your peers, lol

at minimum, she should have forced the circus to wait and to abide by the dying wish of RBG

But, the gauntlet she had to run to even get on the short list would have selected against that sort of principled-ness. If you're the sort of person who would even consider this, you're not on the short list.

All this whining by Dems just sets them up to look like dumbasses if the same thing happens in 4 years. I can guarantee that if a SC seat opens in 2024 and the Dems have control of Congress that they arent going to wait.

This is a big fat waste of time with a lot of grandstanding for no reason. Push this through and get back to work on COVID relief.

Amy should be running instead of Joe.

Amy was in my office and I had a brief 1 on 1 conversation with her. While she is an impressive woman, I wasn't thinking she's going to get my vote in the primary. She didn't and I'm glad she's not the nominee.

she would’ve gotten my vote

however, i saw her in Real Time with Bill Maher and came away unimpressed. she just cane across as too vanilla. she needed to show more fire in the primaries, but it’s tough when you’re a woman and have to walk the line of being fiery vs bitchy

They should get Katie Porter to question ACB. Then they can bring whatever is left of ACB to the Senate for questioning. I’ll be willing to wager that not much will be left of her. What an intellectual lightweight

There is so much truth there it stings.

She has had plenty of her peers and faculty/former teachers at Notre Dame come out and voice their support for her and say she is a worthy pick.

This is all such garbage.

I doubt you were saying the same thing about Merrick Garland.

The lefts willingness/eagerness to character assassinate ANYONE who doesn't do what they want or believe exactly what they believe is nauseating. ACB by all accounts is a good person.

This political circus is embarrassing.

She appears to be an incompetent hack. A nice, religious, incompetent hack.

I'm unsure how I feel in terms of her competence.
In YOUR eyes (and brain) what makes her incompetent to be a Supreme Court Justice?

She’s religious

understatement

her flavor of religion is more oppressive than most

not to mention the whole speaking in tongues thing, or exorcisms
