Oh, the irony.

Irony is a Republican Senator saying the same exact thing today.

Now tell us about Sen. Whitehouse and his yearbook presentation. That was the very epitome of grandstanding. Right?

No, it was getting a guy under oath to lie. Which he did, repeatedly. And you still love him.

You're a twit, just like the guy you apparently love - Whitehouse. He made an utter ass of himself, yet you're defending the depths to which he sank. Grandstanding is an understatement.

Just stating facts. Unlike your boy.

If you think they do, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. I bet they don’t have the intellect to even grasp the meaning of what he spoke.

You would buy that Brooklyn bridge if you believed Booker's BS about sitting with photos of his black and white ancestors and feeling their presence. It was almost as vomit inducing as the mental picture of him soaking in a bathtub of oatmeal. Judge Jackson needs nothing from him. She is 1,000 times better than Booker on his best day. His remarks to her were cringe inducing and patronizing.

DP. I agree. Every time Booker opens his mouth, it's clear he is pretending to be on a Broadway stage, emoting to within an inch of his life. It's beyond cringeworthy.

Agreed.

It’s exactly the same situation Barrett faced. The Democrats were attack dogs and the Republicans were respectful and allowed her to speak. It’s amazing that some of you are determined to pretend Jackson is somehow being treated differently. She’s not.

Bad behavior is bad behavior. It's not justifed based on who is doing it or it having been done before. Also Barrett was grossly unqualified compared to KBJ which led to much of the fodder from Dems. Republicans do not have that advantage with KBJ so they're arguing irrelevant points that are outside of her purview. It's not really the same.

BS. Democrats slammed Barrett based on her personal religious beliefs. It was disgraceful.

Because she wants to impose her personal religious beliefs on to the population of the US. THAT is disgraceful.

If she doesn't believe in abortions, then she shouldn't have one. But neither she, nor anyone else, should have the right to deny the same to any woman who wants or needs one.

And has she tried to prevent any woman from having an abortion? Nope. She also said that Roe v Wade is established precedent. So you can STFU with your lies and gaslighting.
DP

Have you paid any attention to the Texas abortion case? She has prevented every woman in Texas from getting an abortion after 6 weeks by letting Texas keep its ban in place.

You've conveniently moved the goalposts. How typical.

It’s Barrett & company who are moving the goalposts. Abortions after six weeks have been legal in this country for fifty years.

No, you want to ignore facts. The facts are, Whitehouse - and other Democrats - were complete d!cks and performative aholes during Kavanagh's hearing. So you whining about tough questions being asked of Jackson just makes it apparent that you're an absurd hypocrite.

He should have answered them without crying.

Rethug senators are berating KBJ like mad and she sits there calm and dignified. No yelling and crying and spouting off about how she likes beer.

I'm still waiting on answer to why liberals are aghast that Youngkin sends his kids to private, but perfectly ok with Jackson doing the same. So curious.

I will! Because at their core they are racist thugs. This is their dog whistle to get around not being able to yell "BLACK WOMAN NAMED KETANJI!"

1. He didn't lie.
2. Anyone hauling out a nominee's high school yearbook as proof of, well, anything, has a screw loose.

They’re building their sound bites for their future campaigns. Their base will be thrilled to see their representatives doing —what they will likely view as putting an overly educated uppity Black woman in her place. This public nastiness is a total win for them, and even more so if they can get KBJ to stumble publicly and on camera.

Zero self-awareness. Need we remind you AGAIN about the nastiness Democrats displayed to Barrett and Kavanaugh? Take a seat and maybe review *those* hearings, why don’t you.

My self-awareness is just fine. Perhaps in another thread we can discuss just how much fun it is to be a Black woman with a seat at the table. You’re so busy viewing everything through your political lens that you’re missing quite a lot. Carry on though, I’m sure you’re fine with it.

And you're not? You view everything not only through a political lens, but also a racial one. She is a SC nominee - forget about her race. She should be grilled with the same tenacity that other SC nominees were. Unless you're suggesting she receive special treatment due to her race?

Of course I do, along with a few other lenses. I’m happy to acknowledge that — unlike others who believe that their personal biases are somehow norms. As to the rest— if someone can reasonably show that she’s being grilled “with the same tenacity” that’s at least “fair”, if unfortunate.
