It is the appropriate response to Blackburn and Cruz. How are you not appalled by their behavior? They obviously believe the Republican base is mostly ignorant bigots who will follow the most obnoxious asshole.

I’m a conservative (not a trump-following dumb ass). I’m very impressed with KBJ and fully support her nomination.

No, it was getting a guy under oath to lie. Which he did, repeatedly. And you still love him.
You're a twit, just like the guy you apparently love - Whitehouse. He made an utter ass of himself, yet you're defending the depths to which he sank. Grandstanding is an understatement.
Just stating facts. Unlike your boy.
No, you want to ignore facts. The facts are, Whitehouse - and other Democrats - were complete d!cks and performative aholes during Kavanagh's hearing. So you whining about tough questions being asked of Jackson just makes it apparent that you're an absurd hypocrite.
He should have answered them without lying.
He should have answered them without crying.
Rethug senators are berating KBJ like mad and she sits there calm and dignified. No yelling and crying and spouting off about how she likes beer.
Lol, she cried like a baby after Booker did his Broadway speech

I'm still waiting on answer to why liberals are aghast that Youngkin sends his kids to private, but perfectly ok with Jackson doing the same. So curious.
I'm not "aghast" but the difference is this: Youngkin ran for governor of Virginia and no small part of his campaign was about public school education in Virginia, which his family does not participate in. And yet, he can drive that agenda, appoint board members, etc. And we're seeing a lot of this - people that don't believe in public school education but do believe in a lot of regulation of public school education.
Jackson, like Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, and others, is an appointed judge that can only rule on matters under her jurisdiction, "matters" usually being interpretations of law, promulgated by the legislative branch of government, that are also brought before her - i.e. - passive.
It's two entirely different things.
As suspected, that's some impressive pretzel-twisting. The Supreme Court absolutely can rule on matters concerning public schools: Plessy v Ferguson?? Brown v Board of Education?? Engel v Vitale?? And so many more. There is NO difference between the governor and a SJC sending their child to private schools as opposed to public. None.

You are amusing with your pretzels. Are they tasty?
Segregation and subsequent desegregation of schools - Plessy and Brown - are hardly educational policy, but civil rights.
Very cute to throw a school prayer case in, which is also not in the realm of educational policy or curriculum development.
We get it. You're a 1L at Liberty and this is what they've told you to spit out, but seriously, hush, the grownups are talking.

KBJ has the second-highest level of public support among recent SCOTUS nominees.

Lol, she cried like a baby after Booker did his Broadway speech
So did I. Very moving.
Booker is corny, performative and way too longwinded. He acts like he's MLK in 1963 every time someone puts a mic in front of him.
You sound triggered by the idea of a black man saying anything other than “yes, sir.”
IIIIII have a dream, that one day..you will actually say something clever. I, too, am America!!

Based on this thread, it sounds like there was some phenomenal jackassery by Republicans today. Did Graham really accuse KBJ of condoning child pornography? And someone asked her if she was a woman? WTF is wrong with these morons?
