[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is brilliant and she is handling this extremely well...they can't touch her.  Great job Amy.[/quote]

Is easier to handle something well when you've been told the result is already set in stone no matter what you say or do. [/quote]

+1. She doesn't have to stress about her answers. They are literallly irrelevant, as Lindsay Graham already announced. [/quote]

Mostly non-answers anyway with prep for easily anticipated questions, sometimes weaponizing the words of former and current liberal justices. No great legal reasoning on display, but she did come prepared.[/quote]

I'm a lawyer and I have found her answers to be really basic and unimpressive.  Maybe I should be on SCOTUS.  I'm sure other lawyers will disagree. [/quote]

[b]If you are a lawyer, then you should know that these hearings aren’t really about showing off your fancy lawyer chops.[/quote][/b]

People are saying "go ACB" and "look at her schooling the Senators with no notes on the details of cases!"  if you, PP, fall into this category, you can't have it both ways.  if she is going to talk about her legal reasoning and her opinions, we get to comment on it.  I listened to her and Grassley discussing a dissent she wrote about a statute that involved the meaning of "sentence" or "sentencing" and there was just no there there. [/quote]

It’s not having it both ways. This is about her prowess in this confirmation game. Legal mumbo jumbo is just the medium, not the craft itself. Don’t get it confused. This is political theatre, not a good faith exercise in jurisprudential exchange. There are far greater legal minds who might not perform as well in a confirmation hearing.[/quote]
