[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of Blackburn, she had the most insightful words of the day.  And I’m pro-choice, btw.  Edited for clarity.

“Some of our (Democratic) colleagues chose to mention this yesterday... Republicans don’t nominate enough female judges.  But when we nominate a highly qualified woman for a Supreme Court vacancy, what is the very first thing they do?  They turn their attack machine on.  And then they start into the politics of personal destruction.  And they attack you for not fitting into the paradigm of the left - because you’re pro-life, pro-family, pro-religion... and if you don’t buy into this agenda of the left, if you’re female, then they act as if you’re not a “real” woman.  And I will tell you, quite frankly, that they do NOT believe that all women deserve to have the opportunity to have a seat at the table.  It’s only “certain” women, and we have seen their liberal narrative play out today.  Senator Hirono really tuned up on this when she suggested that you, of all people, would not support women in the workplace.  And I will tell you this:  as a woman who has worked in the private sector and then in public service - when comments like that are made, it discourages ALL women from trying to step forward and take the skills they have developed in one area of their life, and then use it as an opportunity to serve their nation, serve their community, because they don’t want the liberal attack machine pointed at them.  ... It is so discouraging to me to see groups on the left say, “We want diversity.”  But let that diversity come from a woman who is on the political right, and their heads explode.

I find it so interesting that they have tried to use this focus (Barrett’s personal faith) to evaluate your professionalism as a judge.  They are doing to you *exactly* what they say they despise.”[/quote]

This is a great statement..  So true.  And, glad that Blackburn pointed it out.  [/quote]

Where did any of the democratic senators questions her about her personal faith?
The only people talking about her faith were republicans.[/quote]

Really!  So all the Democrats who kept bringing up the petition she signed at her church re: abortion weren’t asking about her personal faith?  Interesting![/quote]

asking about a letter she signed =/= asking about faith

you are projecting[/quote]
