How is the Supreme Court confirmation going to go?

[Anonymous]

Crapo is killing it. He’s asking the kind of questions she can actually reply to. “No one is above the law in the United States.”

Justice Thomas is Black. Having Black children does not prevent you from ruling against their interest.

Do tell how Thomas has ruled against black people in any way. We’ll wait.

Well, you know he voted against the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

Why does she respond to hypotheticals from Republican senators?

I've been listening to that question to and she actually doesn't respond to hypotheticals from Republican senators, they are typically asking her to describe the opinion in specific cases. To a casual listener/observer, it seems like she gets into details with them, but not others, but she has been consistent in NOT answering hypothetical questions or questions that could come before her. She's done that to Sen. Tillis, etc.

Exactly. It’s apparent who is not paying close enough attention to these questions and answers.

Get to the point, Kamala.

I am truly embarrassed for you. Stop peddling conspiracy theories. ACB is an extremely well-respected judge. She did not discuss how she would rule on these issues with Trump or anyone from his administration, and she swore to this during the hearing. That you don’t believe her only illustrates how absurd and desperate you are.

She has been a judge for 3 years. That is not long enough to be "well respected."

That is embarrassing.

And Kagan was NEVER a judge! Does that embarrass you too?

Ignorant comment. Kagan was Solicitor General, a position dubbed the "10th SC Justice" because the office is in the SC and so much time is spent arguing before the Court. She was Dean of Harvard Law and Professor before that, infinitely more impressive than Barrett with her thin resume and lack of an impressive publication record.

Unimpressed by the hearings and her resume. She answers hypotheticals from the Rs but not from the Ds. She is ignorant on current matters. She looks uncomfortable in her seat and knows very well she is not worthy of filling it. She is an above average law professor from a good law school, a dime a dozen. Fervently hope she does not get confirmed. She has a mean and stubborn streak which is extremely well hidden but will come out after a few years on the court.

Even her supporters are defensive about the fact that there is not *one* exceptional aspect of her resume. She is beyond mediocre compared to RBG’s accomplishments, even at the same age. This is a straight ideology hire, and as such nothing to be proud of.

I wonder how many of you would ever in a million years graduate first in your law school class, clerked for Justice Scalia, become a law professor at Notre Dame where she received the Distinguished Professor of the Year award three times, be appointed to the Seventh Circuit, and nominated to the SCOTUS. Nothing impressive or exceptional whatsoever about her resume.

Nothing remotely impressive except the last piece, which is unmerited except for her documented hard right ideology and judicial rulings. Otherwise there are dozens of female judges just like her, and with far superior credentials. Pp is right, compare her to RGB. It’s a ludicrous comparison in terms of objective accomplishments.

Sure, Jan. That’s why she wrote an opinion stating an employer’s use of the n-word does not create a hostile work environment for Black employees.

Once again, you’re throwing around sound bytes out of context simply to foment outrage. The “n-word” was not even entered as evidence of a hostile work environment - it occurred during the employee’s termination proceedings, and not before. The panel could not use that as evidence since it wasn’t presented as such. You really need to do your homework and learn a little something about the LAW. Hint: it doesn’t care about your emotions. Jan.

Please adjust the volume on your hearing aid. She refused to exist that discrimination exists in voting access. Yikes.

Good on ACB for not letting Harris bully her into giving an opinion on something about which she cannot opine. Kamala is such an a$$.

Yeah, Trumpy, we should take lessons in the law from you (I’m guessing a Cooley grad?). The use of the n-word was introduced into the record as evidence of pattern and practice for hostile work environment.

Kamala was actually mansplaining.

And, in her little speech and questioning..... she demonstrated why she is not qualified for SCOTUS or VP.

I see you didn't comment about Thomas voting in the majority on Shelby...

You blew that argument when you elected Trump. Literally ANYONE is qualified to be president.
