DP. Yeah, as far as I know, she doesn't have a blended family. |

To apply it, you must be able to interpret it. To interpret it, you must be knowledgeable of it. To provide an opinion, you should at a minimum have credibility in doing each of those things. She doesnāt. Kamala is a better suited scotus. |

ā Next, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgās dying wish was that her seat on the court remain open until a new president was installed. At your nomination ceremony at the White House, you praised Justice Ginsburg as āa woman of enormous talent and consequence, whose life of public service serves as an example to us all.ā Your nomination just days after Ginsburgās death was unseemly and a repudiation of her legacy. Given your admiration for Justice Ginsburg, we ask that you repair the injury to her memory by calling for a pause in the nomination until the next president is seated. Finally, your nomination comes at a treacherous moment in the United States. Our politics are consumed by polarization, mistrust, and fevered conspiracy theories. Our country is shaken by pandemic and economic suffering. There is violence in the streets of American cities. The politics of your nomination, as you surely understand, will further inflame our civic wounds, undermine confidence in the court, and deepen the divide among ordinary citizens, especially if you are seated by a Republican Senate weeks before the election of a Democratic president and congress. You have the opportunity to offer an alternative to all that by demanding that your nomination be suspended until after the election. We implore you to take that step. Weāre asking a lot, we know. Should Vice-President Biden be elected, your seat on the court will almost certainly be lost. That would be painful, surely. Yet there is much to be gained in risking your seat. You would earn the respect of fair-minded people everywhere. You would provide a model of civic selflessness. And you might well inspire Americans of different beliefs toward a renewed commitment to the common good. We wish you well and trust you will make the right decision for our nation.ā Honestly, I think people may respect her more if she withdrew. Iām the independent and āreligiousā PP that opined on abortions and separation of church and state, and personal religious authority. She has options and she is behaving cowardly. She is young enough to do more than this. But hey, we didnāt all go spreading covid ar the rose garden for naught, see it through, right? |

Because she adopted kids and PP misused the term. |

It's amazing how the right keeps claiming religious persecution and litmus when tey are the only ones bringing it up.
Same with court packing. It is only the right talking about it and bringing it up. |

All of her law school colleagues SUPPORT her nomination. |

Only because it brings their law school up a notch if they have someone from there on the supreme court. It's for selfish reasons only. |

Yeah, it's been pointed out that PP misused the term. We knew that. What we don't know is *why* PP chose to use that term. I'm guessing that PP, like ACB, thinks its ok to use racial slurs against POC, as long as they do it with a smile on their face so nobody's feelings are hurt. |

Because PP doesnāt understand when you adopt children of color they are you children not step children. |

Except that she didnāt dismiss the vile pejorative at all. She acknowledged it: āThe n-word is an egregious racial epithet.ā |
