[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ACB just spent the day handing dem senators their A$$.
So glad she’s on my side and not yours. She’s amazing.[/quote]
I recall you guys saying similar stuff about Trump back in the day, about Kavanaugh, about Ivanka, about Melania and about just about everyone else who flitted through the White House in any Republican capacity. It turns out that what you find “amazing” is not at all amazing. Republicans have shockingly low standards.[/quote]

What I find telling about so much of the REpublican rhetoric as it's so vague that you can never actually measure it.  I help people with their resumes and spend most of the time saying things like "Make it quantifiable.  Make it measurable.  Tell me how you:  increased the customer base by thirty percent; increased revenue by forty-five percent, etc."

The problem with:
there are some really terrible people
she is whip smart and
she did amazing

is that none of these are actually quantifiable.  Now, if you told me that she published three times more articles than so and so and in journals with a publication impact factor that's one of the highest in the field, then you'd have something.  If you told me that she received the highest award in her field, awarded by the ABA, or that she has the highest competency rating from the ABA, etc.  then you'd have a fair argument. 
Most of the time, when Republicans including Trump, tell you that something is "like nothing you've ever seen before,"  "amazing," etc.  it's a claim that is vague, unmeasurable and therefore unable to be either supported or refuted.  It's like the guy who comes to the job interview and can't actually name any concrete accomplishments from his previous job.[/quote]

One more note to add. If a conservative women was highly accomplished by all standards, Dems would begrudgingly acknowledge it. Like how Rs voted 96-4 or so for RBG. That level of accomplishment is hard to ignore and we want the best for OUR country.

ACB is not as accomplished by any quantifiable measure and that's what gets us.

She has been selected by the Federalist Society more for her rabid views which very few women judges have, than for her accomplishments. [/quote]
