[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so refreshing that the Democrats (right now it's Feinstein) are letting her talk.  You can literally here a change in her voice and see the mannerism go from stress and frustration to a relief she can finally / actually explain herself.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

BS.  Democrats slammed Barrett based on her personal religious beliefs.  It was disgraceful.[/quote]

ACB was selected by Trump--who repeatedly said he would work to get RvW overturned--in large part because of the likelihood of her voting to overturn RvW. That likelihood is based, in part, on her degree of religiosity. Most of my family and my husband's family are Catholic, so this is not a knock on Catholics. But there are degrees to someone's religiosity and it is hard to imagine how someone who believes to their core that abortion is a sin can ever be impartial on the matter. Ideally, all SC judges would be non-religious, but that's not going to happen in this country. [/quote]

DP. I was just going to say the same.  In ACB's case, her strong religious views absolutely were fair game on the issue of abortion because any abortion case that comes before her would need to be based on the law, not her religion. And for most Catholics, it's not enough to personally believe that abortion is a sin.  It cannot be allowed for anyone at any time under any circumstances.  There is no gray area for them.[/quote]
