Barrett SCOTUS Hearing Day 2: First Round Of Questioning | Talking Points Memo

What the hell is a “pre-commitment?” Is it like “pre-boarding” a plane? Of course she didn’t give a “pre-commitment” – she gave a commitment, probably signed in some sort of distasteful fluid, as dictated by her cult.

What’s the girl version of the “balls and strikes” lie?

It’s like a high school pre-engagement ring, right?

Not to mention the Non Disclosure Agreement, standard for people who are doing work for Donald Trump.

She supported delaying the appointment of Scalia’s replacement due to balance on the court-Scalia being an arch conservative. But happily accepted the nomination to replace RBG, a liberal icon, in order to cement the arch conservative majority. She is if nothing else a lying hypocrite.

Hmmm… maybe that would be a great question to ask her:

Has she signed an NDA with Trump, anyone in the campaign or anyone in the administration?

Originalist health care. Bloodletting and leaches.
Or as the Republican senate candidate from Nevada said, give a chicken to your doctor.

That’s called a “qualification” now.

This sow is pissing me off more and more. What a sham this all is.

She signed an NDA with God.

All in all, I think the Democrats should’ve boycotted these hearings or at the very least, have every one of them call it a sham and illegitimate hearing.

Definitely! Although one of the NDA’s clauses would almost certainly be that she could not disclose having signed it… Also, as a “con”, she’ll say whatever it takes to close the deal. After all, that commandment nominally about “lying” only specifies “bearing false witness against your neighbor” - and says nothing about lying in general, when not in a court of law or regarding folks other than your immediate neighbors or issues that are not under litigation. So it’s all good, (man)!

She sounds like she’s 14. If they could’ve found a fetus that would vote like Thomas, they’d have been thrilled.

re: boycotting. Yeah, and gone directly to the media, on all the talking head shows, social media, and giving a consistent message to anyone who will listen, or at least not put their fingers into their ears.

Are you implying that women can’t play or even watch baseball?

Trump ain’t G-d and never will be.

G-d would never ask for such a thing. This is an old testament G-d and that was undone almost two thousand years ago.

She should be asked about her discussions re the aca, roe etc with the federalist society. She said did not discuss with prez or prez staff … a true barrinian qualification.

Cornyn Argument: Don’t Worry What SCOTUS Does, Congress Can Fix It!

“Thankfully under the Constitution, even if the Supreme Court strikes down a statute, Congress could come revisit that topic,” he said.

This is actually true. If Dems win trifecta, they could fix the ACA within days in the event of the statute being struck down.

Sexual preference vs orientation. Her terminology sounds decades old though if you listen to Christian radio I think they still refer to gay people that way.
She must also think that they’re recruiting which is a term that Anita Bryant and Schlafly would use.
I once joked with a gay friend what do they do, have a kiosk in the mall.

Oh, I don’t mean to imply that the president has anything to do with the Big Guy. Just that Barrett sees herself as heir to a higher calling. And fundamentalists indeed only give credence, it seems, to the O.T. god of vengeance.
