Slimy clown? Duplicitous clown? Slimy duplicitous clown?

I used to respect him, although I have always disagreed with most of his political positions. Now I just wonder if he’s only deplorable — or if he’s deplorable because someone has a file on him that he’d rather not have revealed. I also wonder what he sees when he looks at himself in the mirror. 🧟

I noticed a rapid decline after his good and honorable buddy John McCain died …RIP Senator McCain.

Lindsey Graham is a natural sidekick, and McCain was his Alpha. When McCain passed, Graham had to find a new Alpha to latch onto, and Donny Smallhands was right there waiting.

I think the reason behind Graham's pivot to Trump is a bit more sinister.

Regardless, very happy that this made it through. Representation is important. I wonder if voting to confirm could impact Collins or Murkowski politically?

Collins just got re-elected. This is one of a long list of things that Murkowski is already in trouble with most Rs, but she keeps doing them. Her race should be interesting. Last time she was up she was primaried by the right but won with a write-in campaign.

The news of her confirmation is still gladdening my heart! I’m so excited.

Justice Jackson said at her confirmation hearing that she believed in originalism as a way to interpret the Constitution:

“I believe that the Constitution is fixed in its meaning,” she said on Tuesday. “I believe that it’s appropriate to look at the original intent, original public meaning, of the words when one is trying to assess because, again, that’s a limitation on my authority to import my own policy.”

We learned today what that means.

Bless her and the consistent, brilliant, and brave Sonia Sotomayor, who has alone spoken truth and given rational historical context for years.

Not sure if it’s in this thread, but I also completely enjoyed her argument on the wetlands. She said, “Is there a way people could know they were buying property that is part of protected wetlands?” The Army Corp of Engineering spokesperson said, “Yes, they can ask us and we will tell them for free.” Boom. Dissolved a wordy argument from Kavanaugh just like that.

Not sure what the PP above is driving at, but Jackson was getting to the original intent of the 14th Amendment.

And a tiny piece of the right wingers died when they realized that KBJ was worth more than all of their slimy selves put together.

None of which is going to matter anyway. We know which way these justices will rule.

It matters. She is so much smarter than all of them combined, and it makes them look like the feckless radicals they are. History will not judge them kindly.

On the one hand, it matters. But with a solid 5 votes, the radical wing of the court will just dismantle our republic.

Oh just stop. Giving up is not an option. Do you think KJB gave up the first time she was told she didn’t matter? Yes, the courts are stacked but they are now on their back heels, all by their own doing. We fight for this country we love.
