She's obviously very smart and accomplished. I don't want her on the court, but I think it's great someone like her could be on the court.

Nobody attacked her for being a mom. She was lightly criticized for using her 7 children as a shield against scrutiny of her beliefs and her thin record. Why is 7 important? Would a woman with 8 children be more qualified? Would a woman with 3 children be less qualified?

Yes, because women who are not mothers are un-women, obvi.

The 7 kids count against her in my eyes.

Interesting.
Back when Scalia went through confirmation, not one person thought that him having 9 kids counted against him.

Gimme a break! Lol

ABC's voice really is annoying - did not hear it til now

Good grief - talk about annoying voices - RBG, who I greatly admire, had just about the worst voice ever.

RBG was 87 when she died! Let's wait to see how your voice box sounds when you're 75 let alone 87. Gez.

It was 1986. You remember then? I mean, I was five. Also it was a different time politically when the GOP tried to nominate qualified ideologues instead of lying cheating unqualified nuts.

Yep. Remember it well.
I get that you don't want her confirmed. But, calling her a "lying cheating unqualified nut" is a flat out lie. She is eminently qualified. And, that makes you mad because there is no reason not to confirm her.

Oh, now she’s “eminently qualified”? I guess since you guys just want your kakistocracy at all costs, for those purposes I guess she’s “eminently qualified.” For the United States Supreme Court? Nope. Not even if she gives birth two more times.

Well, her 7 kids will get healthcare while the rest of the country goes without after Amy votes against the ACA.

She's like the others in that she wants healthcare for HER but not for others.

I didn't have political opinions in 1986.

As a lawyer I find her completely unimpressive. She's not a deep thinker, just an automaton who recites cases and holdings.

Rare was the Republican on the committee who was able to deliver an opening statement without referring to the seven children in the Barrett family. This feat of parenting seemed to leave them gobsmacked with admiration and utterly mystified as to how a two-parent household with significant financial resources was capable of wrangling such a large brood without the missus showing up with oatmeal on her clothes.

Where did the money come from?

She was a law school professor and a circuit court judge so she was making upwards of $ 200,000 a year. Her husband is also a lawyer doing white collar corporate defenseso he probably makes 200,000 as well.

You have just described many couples in DC who do not have upwards of 3 million...it is strange.

Please explain. And also, are you conservative or liberal?
