I Am So Tired of the Petty Partisan Posturing by Republican Senators
in their interrogation of a nominee for the SCOTUS. Since it is a public forum, all of the Republicans are using it to pander to their constituencies, pretending to examine the nominee's qualifications for that lofty position in our judicial system.
They are giving carefully targeted campaign speeches. Nothing more. They already know how they will vote in the confirmation voting. We all know how they will vote.
The nominee will be confirmed, and a couple of Republicans will probably vote for confirmation.
This is a media show. This is a rare opportunity for those Republicans to speak on national television without interruption.
I have come to believe that such hearings should not be televised, simply because it gives a platform for pontification to puerile politicians.
I am sickened by their attacks on a superbly qualified jurist.
Yeah, because we'd be so much better if we took the word of the NY times on such things.
Sounds like a DUmmys ass is still chapped at how bad ballsy-ford looked, and now is becoming even more irritated at the truth of just how horrible a candidate the current nominee is.
"Superbly qualified" on paper maybe, in reality, that jurist is perhaps the worst possible choice - a dishonest activist jurist.
And she is likely a monster on top of it, given her preferential treatment of monsters.
Own it, DUmmies.
