The Supreme Court

Clarence Thomas dying from whatever put him in the hospital is better for America.

If her opponents in the Senate truly believe that she is so unqualified, too soft on crime, etc., why did many (most?) of them confirm her in her 3 previous appointments? Especially since as a federal judge she would have been directly presiding over the type of cases they're complaining about (child sex abuse, etc.), but not as a Supreme Court justice.

Did these Senators not do their due diligence then? Why did they fail in their job then?

so has she screamed, whined and cried yet or is that only the kind of thing whiny, privileged white men do?

(their faux outrage is designed to appeal to their knuckle-scrapin' racist bigoted base during 20 second soundbites amplified by the mainstream media).

(I know you know this.. I just enjoy pointing it out to the knuckle-scrapin' racist bigots at tSwill).

A Trumper. Talking about class.

I read that the christians who a few short years ago were vocal supporters of the "grab 'em by the pussy" piece of christian filth are suddenly outraged at the idea of sexual assault.

Not everyone celebrates that decision like you do.

My favorite headline from the hearing: "Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden's Supreme Court pick, refuses to define the word 'woman'." Fox News, of course.

if the fragile right wing christians didn't have outrage culture, they would have absolutely nothing at all. They don't care about policy. The only thing they care about is whining and crying 'victim' at everything and creating a culture of victimhood within their knuckle-scraping base.

Can you imagine the internal outrage over the idea of a woman, let alone a black one, have the power to judge their actions or arguments? They won’t even attempt to prove statement like black people are killing white children.

Then again being a racist is now a pre qualification for many in the GOP.

Senator Tillis apparently asked her about dark money in SCOTUS nominations. I wonder if he asked the same thing about how all of Kavanaugh's debts got paid off.

You guys haven’t gotten to my favorite dipshit Republican comment yet :(

Mitch McConnell a few days ago- “Her supporters look at her résumé and deduce a special empathy for criminals,” Mr. McConnell said in a lengthy floor speech in which he argued that her work on behalf of the accused was a blot on her record. “I guess that means that government prosecutors and innocent crime victims start each trial at a disadvantage.”

Yes Mitch. In our system, prosecutors and alleged victims start at a disadvantage. That’s the whole fuckin point. Great job.

Alleged victims?

Generally in a criminal trial it is the defendant that is alleged. The victim is pretty well established.

No surprise that you think a person who cannot opine about Dred Scott is qualified for tSCOTUS.

Like your fellow leftists here, do you wish death on Clarence Thomas?

Yes. An alleged victim. Your “generally” is absurd. You don’t know if a crime took place at all in many cases.

I wonder if KKKavanaugh still coaches his daughter's basketball team?

man, I would get my daughter away from him like Ted Cruz trying to get his fat ass to Cancun.

Who was the monster from Indiana who actually said we should leave interracial marriages up to the states? If that utterance doesn’t put chills down your spine, you are one special piece of shit and you scare the hell out of me. And there are a ton of knuckle dragging backwoods racists that will vote for that. Wow our country really is going to hell

Every GOP Senator is using their time as free TV to speak to their voter base in addition donors to campaign funds their personal PAC’s.

Frightening how they no longer attempt to disguise their contempt towards minority women.

To be fair, Dems are using it for the TV time, too. One of the Dem senators yesterday had all thse charts and was going on and on about Republican dark money. I watched for a good 5-10 min of this with charts and everything, but didn't hear him ask a question. Maybe he did eventually, but I tuned out.

Look, every single Senator has known exactly how they are going to vote for weeks. Most have voted to confirm her in the past. This is all just performative BS, same as other recent SCOTUS confirmation hearings.

Murder- yes, in a murder case you would know that there is a victim. Did you know though that our courts do things that aren’t murders? I know, it’s obscure trivia so stick with me here, but it turns out that a lot of the cases don’t involve murder at all. You learn something new everyday.

No fair about it.

No Democrat has said The SCOTUS is no place to decide issues like interracial marriage.

If you like losing freedoms vote for GOP candidates and contribute to their PAC’s.

at least the GOP no longer hides their contempt for America and traditional American values.

She seemed to handle all sorts of topics, from Ted Cruz's racist babies to Tom Cotton's rapists. I'm sure she could opine on your favorite SCOTUS decision.

No, I don't wish death on Clarence Thomas. I wish his illness would convince him that he needs to spend a lot more time with his family.

You do remember the first paragraph you wrote, right, saying that the GOP was using it as free TV time to speak to their base and try to help their donations?  It was pretty obvious that's what I was responding to, considering the example that I gave.  So yes, to be fair, the Dems are doing that, too, they're just using different dog whistles. The fact that the Dem's dog whistles are less offensive to decent people doesn't change the fact that they're performing for the cameras, too.

yep.

Republicans want to end democracy and America.

Democrats want people to vote and have healthcare.

Would be like letting a surgeon operate on you after she admitted she couldn't remember where the appendix is.

What? No it's not. It would be like having a surgeon that doesn't know how to properly use leeches to cure disease. Or maybe doesn't know the name of the person that performed the first appendectomy.

Dude, it's history, yes, but it's a decision that was overturned by the 14th Amendment, and a decision that has therefore been completely irrelevant to the adjudication of law for over 150 years.

You have been banging on for two days because a SCOTUS nominee doesn't know off the top of her head, which particular outdated law justices used as a basis for a decision that hasn't carried any practical relevance for over a century and a half.

"Or something like that." You clearly don't know what you're talking about, and it's likely that you keep bringing up Dred Scott because Fox News pushed a story that she said she didn't remember the basis for the opinion. Having watched that and much of the hearing, I could see that she's intelligent, reasonable and independent, with an excellent grasp of the law. You must hate her.

I find the liberals on this board to be a good group of people who are all much smarter than you.

Most Republicans can't wear a mask or get a shot without whining.  They love to talk tough, but in the end all they'll do is throw tantrums at the first sign of inconvenience.

That's not why he hates her.

So have the GOP senators burned a cross in the hearing room yet?
